Is numbering continuous for these lists? In that case, Word may treat them as one and the same.

If you restart the numbering for the second list (use the right-click menu), then the lists should be disconnected. Note that you can create a numbered paragraph style for the second list; this ensures that Word sees the lists as separate (no matter the starting number).

Are you allowed to share the document (or a relevant portion of it)?
