![]() ![]() What's going wrong? The short answer is that Word's list templates, the templates on which lists are based, get uncomfortably wobbly once you've created more than a few lists in a document. If this starts happening, you're unlikely to find happiness in your near future. I figured the problem would be fixed in Word 2003, but if anything, it's even worse than Word 2000. I've seen this behavior in several versions of Word. If I right-click in the list and tell Word to continue numbering for this paragraph (which should be number 4), it continues the whole list from the previous list. It's okay for about the first three items, then it gets confused and starts again with number 1. So I right-click in the new list and choose Restart Numbering to tell Word to restart numbering for the list. First off, Word assumes that I'm trying to continue the previous list, even if it's five pages back. ![]() Each time I start a new list, the numbering gets all flaky. I'm working on a 300-page document that contains about 200 numbered lists explaining procedures. Automatic numbering of lists is wonderful until it goes wrong, and then it's a screaming nightmare.
