atw: Re: Help!! Word numbering Restart problem

The first thing to make sure of is that you have set the margins for the
list in the bullets and numbering box as well as the style.  It must be set
in both.

Go to Format, Bullets and Numbering.  Find your style in there or attach one
of the boxes to a style, then set the formatting to the same formatting as
your style.

That way your margins should not change when you do stuff to the numbers.

As far as restart is concerned, I set up a macro attached to a button on my
desktop so that it is a one-click operation, but beware that if you change
your numbered style at all - in any way - after you have set all your
numbers, it will reset them all back to a single sequence.

Best option is to avoid automatic numbering where at all possible, and use
Seq or ListNum fields if you can.

Subject: atw: Help!! Word numbering Restart problem

Hey, guys,

Ive designed a basic template for company-wide use. I've developed a 
numbered list (not outline) that I'm using. HOWEVER, numbering continues as,

numbring does...

I right-click and select "Restart Numbering" and it does, but I lose my tab 
and indent-

Which throws all my indent styles and ListNumberLast styles out of whack and

also makes everything squished when I get into double digits (10, 11, 12, 
etc.)

Is there ANY way to restart a numbered list without screwing with the style 
sheet and losing my formatting? When I send this out, people are going to 
have to re-number and this problem will occur.

Can I specify a ListNubmerFist style that always goes to 1.?

Or is a Macro on the cards? (And has anyone written such a Macro for this?)

(I wouldn't know how to write a Macro if it bit me - I'm more of an HTML 
person :)

Many thanks, in advance,
Amanda
