Paste numbered list without continued numbering
One of the most frustrating things in Word 2007 for me is copying and pasting
numbered lists. When I copy a list that has, say, numbered items 1 and 2, from one cell of a table into a blank cell of a table, the copied numbered items become 3 and 4, but I want them to be exact copies (1 and 2). I've looked at the help on Paste, and none of the topics seemed to help me. How can I paste a numbered list into a blank table cell, and not have the numbering continued without having to manually unnumber and renumber this list? |

Paste numbered list without continued numbering
When pasting numbered items, you are basically adding list items, which is why
the numbering continues. The best approach depends on where you are pasting. Within table cells, select the number that you want to restart (just click it!) and then right-click, choosing Restart at 1 (from the context menu). When pasting in the main body of the document, you should see a Paste Options button, and you can then choose to Paste as a New list. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Nick Piazza" wrote in message ...
