Word 2010: How to paste content without numbered lists being made continous

[oceanclub]

I have content including documents and sections of documents which I'd like to paste into another document (same template/styles). This content contains multiple numbered lists.

However, when I do, the start of each list is lost and instead of multiple lists, they are now treated as one long list:

1. Apple
2. Orange
3. Pear



Heading 1
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig


Changes to:

1. Apple
2. Orange
3. Pear

Heading 1
4. Dog
5. Cat
6. Pig

Obviously I can re-apply "Restart at 1" but this laborious for a 1,000 page document. Is there an alternative?
