Forgive me, but I am not sure I'm following what you're saying!

This is a single Word document that I type in. Each patient's report goes on a different page. I don't have to do any formatting once I type these reports, and I don't even print them out. Once I type the report, it gets copied and pasted into an electronic medical record, where it stays permanently. Each day when I type, I add to the end of the document, and I go back delete the reports when they are a week old.

The number is part of the autocorrect. When I type "ccad", the entire paragraph above, from the word "bilateral" to the word "findings" is what comes up. So, when I type "ccad", that numbered sentence is 1. If I make a page break and type "ccad" again, the numbered sentence is 2. Another page break and type "ccad", and the numbered sentence is 3. I want the number to always stay at 1.

If I click once on the number, and then right click, it gives me formatting options. I have tried several things but I can't find a way to fix this in those options. I consider myself to be fairly proficient with the features of Microsoft Word; however, this is something that I just cannot figure out. Autonumbering as you type is turned off in both places. Autoformatting is turned off. I just don't get it - I just cannot seem to fix it!
