... it's time to apply for a job as a garbage collector. It would certainly be less frustrating than using MS-bloody-Word. Why oh why can't I restart the numbering of a numbered paragraph. I do everything that the OLH tells me (right-click the paragraph and select Restart Numbering), but nought happens. With my cursor in the paragraph, I display the Bullets and Numbering... dialog, but the Restart Numbering radio button is greyed out. I can restart the numbering of other numbered paragraphs in the vicinity, but not this recalcitrant bugger. Any clues ... before I pull an early cork and call the local council?
