I have some Word 2010 documents that are automatically generated from Robohelp. The documents have different subsections at different Heading levels, and most sections include numbered lists using the same style: List Number. The numbering is continued from the previous section in each subsequent section instead of restarting at 1. As there are many sections that would need to be manually reset each time the documents are generated, it would be incredibly helpful to have this automated. Is there a way to do this with VBA?



Thanks.

Yes but we need to know what styles would be considered to be in the same list. Eg if I have paragraphs like this:
1. List Paragraph
1.1 List Paragraph 2
List Continue
Picture
2. List Paragraph - is this a new list or a continuation of the previous list.

You would be better advised to handle this WITHOUT macros by setting up your styles in a particular way. For instance, if the outline list effectively has a reset style linked to level one and then all the outline numbered styles start at level two then you just need to ensure that the level one style makes at least one appearance between each separate list.

You are correct. I was able to fix this by editing the Multi-level list style. Thanks.
