Jean-Guy,

Good question. The words Recommendations and Discussion are the beginning
of new sections in this document. No matter how much the merged data
changes, these words always indicate the beginning of new sections. Each
numbered list in the section must start from 1. The insert section breaks
automatically restart the numbering for the following section. This is why
I'm using section breaks.

Here is how it looks before the section break:

Discussion:

1.dsfds
2.sdfdsa
3.sdfsdaf
4.sdfsf
5.dsfsd

Recommendations:
6.dsfsa
7.sdfdsfs
8.dsfdsafsad
9.sdfadfds

after section break is inserted:

Discussion:
1.dsfds
2.sdfdsa
3.sdfsdaf
4.sdfsf
5.dsfsd

Recommendations:
1.dsfsa
2.sdfdsfs
3.dsfdsafsad
4.sdfadfds

Does this help?

TIA,
Jason

||

That is probably due to paragraph spacing. Change the paragraph spacing (The
space after) for the Paragraph Mark tied to section break.

But let's go back a notch.
Why do you want to systematically insert section breaks after each word you
find?
