How to have two different numbering lists in a document?

[saseymour]

Hello. I am a teacher. I am trying to switch to writing my exams in word for the ease of editing over the exam software.

So, I created a new numbering/bullet format.

But, I am banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to have TWO different numbering list formats in a document.

for example, I want my multiple choice sections to have my custom bullet format:

____1. text here
____2. text here
(and so on)

Then when my test switches to short answer / essay / problems, I want the numbering to continue, but switch to:

3. text here
4. text here
5. text here
(and so on)

Any idea how I can do this in Word? I've looked at section breaks, page breaks, etc, but I am stuck.

Thanks in advance!
