Restart numbering broke! "Roscoe" <ross.dillon[ at ]mtsi-va.com> 02.08.2006 22:02:56 Brand new installation of Word 2003... I have stlyles called [Table headings], [Table a.] and [Table 1)], the intent being a table that looks like: [Table Headings] a. text [Table a.] b. text [Table a.] 1) text [Table 1)] 2) text [Table 1)] [Table Headings] a. text [Table a.] b. text [Table a.] 1) text [Table 1)] 2) text [Table 1)] The problem is when I type the first "lettered" line it continues numbering from the previous table. Fine, I select restart numbering and it goes back to "a." After the second table heading I want it to start over at "a." again but it insists on staying as "c.". The little lightening bolt comes up with the option to "restart numbering" and it ignores me. I go to "bullets and numbering" and the "restart numbering" is grayed out. But if I go to the second "b.", THAT one I can restart numnbering. I've wasted an hour now trying this simple little task. Can somebody give me a hint??? Thanks! Roscoe

Re: Restart numbering broke! "Roscoe" <ross.dillon[ at ]mtsi-va.com> 03.08.2006 18:52:53 Already familiar with that. Issue was really more simple than that. I was confusing styles that were similarly named but one was attached to Level 1, the other of course wasn't and I was choosing the wrong one... Thanks for responding! Suzanne S.
