Restart Numbering/Continue....
Using Word 2003. Why is the "restart numbering" sometimes greyed out in the
format numbering options. When this happens, I can sometimes format paint a 1. from another correct list, sometimes I have to double click the format painter button. I have tried formatting from the menu bar, tool tips, right click, and still sometimes nothing works. At present I am working with a style I created from new but have had the same problem on default numbering. It for sure says start at 1 in the options. I have often had this problem on different computers. This document has 66 pages each of which has a numbered list starting with 1. Thanks for your help. I am going crazy. |

Restart Numbering/Continue....
If Word sees the current list as a separate list with a start at value other
than 1, you may not be able to "merge" the list with a previous one (by using the context/right-click menu). Experimenting with the format painter will then be your only option (as you have seen). Note that you will have more control over numbering if you use an outline list, letting higher levels restart lower ones. For a description of the various restart options in Word 2003, see this article: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...artmethods.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Serendipity" wrote in message ...
