Hello!
Do you know if it's possible to make list style numbering to always restart at number 1? Here's the thing: If I write a long document with lots of lists that are not related to eachother. I can right-click on the number and choose "restart numbering". That's just fine. BUT: When I add again a new separate list somewhere in the middle of the document, Word thinks that the next list in document (which I have before already restarted at 1) is part of that new list, and changes the numbering there again. Example: ...This is a text in the middle of the document where I have a list 1. first item 2. second item 3. third item And the text continues... Now I add a new list above that. ...There is now more text here and new list added 1. new first item This is a text in the middle of the document where I have a list 2. first item 3. second item 4. third item And the text continues... Again, I can go to the number 2 and select restart numbering. But the document may be really long, and the list somewhere many pages ahead, so it's easy to miss that by accident. So, if there is a way to prevent that happening, please let me know ![]() |

With style-based numbering, the default is to continue the list. What you can do is set up a multilevel list and have a higher level (which can be unnumbered) restart lower levels. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...g20072010.html. Note that the article uses heading styles as an example, but you can and should use other paragraph styles, since you are not dealing with heading numbering.
