You can tell your boss that MS Word's numbering does not work properly and is one of the most annoying bugs in Word. Have a look at this link (and get your boss to read it as well if he does not believe you) to see a detailed explanation of how Word numbering works (or doesn't work). http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Numbering/WordsNumberingExplained.htm Use Words Sequence fields instead. Have a look at Word help for an explanation of how to use Sequence fields. Also do a Google search on "Word Numbering" for more help.

Save my life, please! Hi! My boss gave me the task to figure out why the numbering in our templates are not working properly, especially the restart numbering. When you restart the numbering, save and close the document, re-open it, the restarted numbering doesn't work as it is supposed to - causing the whole document to be totally messed up. After spending literally HOURS with Word in spying through our macros, unable to find anything wrong with them, I turned to the Internet for help, and found you. In the article I found [1] via Google, you mentioned that you have a macro to address this problem. How much does it cost? Where can I get it? What do you need from me? Please contact me a.s.a.p. as I am desperate for a solution. Do I have to send you our template for you to build it in? Or what do we do?
