start a new numbering system in a table column

[confusedworduser]

Hi. I am creating a document which has a multilevel list of numbers and bullets. I want to have a table which has the exact same list in both columns to facilitate a translation into another language. I first write the list on the right and then insert a column to the left. Word then creates exactly the same multilevel list in the new column. So far so good. The only problem is that the numbers are a continuation from the right hand column. I have tried pressing restart numbering but it does not work. The numbers are: right column 1, left column 2. Then I have a number of lines of bullets which match perfectly. Then again right column 2, left column 3. Then another series of bullets which match perfectly and then right column 4, left column 5.



This is extremely frustrating!!

Can anyone help???!!!

Thanking you in advance.
