I'd like to remind everyone that the term is "sanitation engineer".
These days they're truck drivers, aren't they? No need to get their
hands dirty. What's the pay? :-)
I was having a similar restart problem the other day but deleted and
rewrote the para and restart worked. Can't replicate it today. Intrigued
to hear what works for others and if any works for you.
Cheers,
Terry

Hi Geoffrey
Try putting your cursor at the very beginning of the first numbered
item, then press Enter. Your first item is now the next sequential
number and you have a blank first item (numbered with the offending
nasty number). Now right-click on the newly created SECOND item and see
if Restart Numbering works. If it does, thank me, and then remove the
blank first item shoving the second one back to first where it belongs.
Clear as mud?
Sometimes this works for me -- not always, but it's worth a go before
heading off to the local council to apply for that garbage contractor
position!

... 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?
Cheers
