I am trying to set up styles that will automatically do multi-level lists (or at least numbered lists). The problem I'm having is two-fold:

1. At the second, third and following levels, the lists get numbered as if they were a continuation of the previous list at that level, even though I have indicated in the style that each list at these levels is to be a new list and is to start with 1.

2. When I see the continuing list numbers, I try to correct them: I click on the number icon, then click to start a new list and indicate the number it is to start with. Word will not start a new list even after I have done this.

Does anyone have any ideas about correcting this frustrating anomaly?

Thanks.
