Create two different bullet STYLES with different style names. Then apply
one style to the bullets in one section and the other style to the bullets
in the other section.

Subject: [mso] Word 2003: bullets and numbering nightmares
I am preparing a legal contract, so there are lots of sections and
sub-sections. Most sections are numbered like this:
Section 1: blah blah blah
1.1 blah blah blah
1.2 blah blah blah
1.3 etc
but there are a few like this:
Section 2: blah blah blah
2.1 blah blah blah
2.1.2 blah blah blah
2.1.3 blah blah blah
2.1.4 blah blah blah
2.2 blah blah blah
I am having some frustrating behavior with two consecutive sections.
The first is section 7, which has subsections 7.1, 7.2, then 7.2.1,
7.2.2, 7.2.3, and 7.2.4, and then it has 7.3. I go into Format ->
Bullets and numbering -> customize and make that work - no problem. But
then when I go to section 8, which has subsections 8.1 through 8.13
(with no sub-subsections), the sub-subsections in section 7 grab onto
the section 8 numbering instead of keeping their 7.x.x numbering. So
section 7 now looks like this: 7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 7.3. Then
I fix section 7 to how it's supposed to look, and Section 8 thinks it's
supposed to be a continuation of the 7.2.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.4 list. Does
that description make any sense at all, and can anyone tell me what to
do to get these two sections to stop being so co-dependent?
Thank you so much!!!!!
Elise
