Default reset numbering to 1 by paragraph Style

Hello together,

I have run into a problem regarding MS Word's numbering and after googeling and reading all day haven’t been able to resolve the issue.. I hope someone here might be able to help me out, I also hope my English is good enough to properly explain the issue.

So strait to it;
I use IBM Rational DOORS (9.2) for maintaining and changing documents...
From DOORS I then create Exports to MS Word 2010.

In DOORS I can set the Paragraph Style to any Style that corresponds to those saved in the used template,
e.g. <Object Text:Standard,Text> set to a line will cause Word to display the content of said line the Standard Format.

My problem is with the enumberation. When using <Object Text:List Number> Word will give me a nice list, always beginning with the iteration of the last used number.

This is great when building a list, but I have several lists throughout the document and these should start with 1 iterating as they go. I Cannot however find a way to reset the list number to begin again.

So my Question is, is there a way to command Word to start a new list?

Something along the lines of <Object Text:‘List Number’.StartAt=1> would be great!

The only other liable option I can think of would be for me to set a marker before the respective list e.g. #ListReset# and integrate a macro into the template that searches the text for the marker and upon finding it resets the list to begin with 1.
I am however not very familiar with VBA... I can understand most code, but can’t really write any...

Does anyone have a Solution or even a pointer in the right direction?

Thanks a lot,
Helix
