| I'm using Word 97-sr2 on Windows NT. I've just been
| given a new document template to use ... and it uses
| automatic numbering for the Steps style. The trouble
| is, the autonumbering continues from the previous
| list. When I select Format: Bullets and Numbering and
| check "start at 1", the numbering restarts, but I lose
| my indentations. yeah, I can fix it, but it's a pain.

| Does anyone know how to use the autonumbering feature
| so that this doesn't happen? I normally avoid it just
| for this reason.
Don't use autonumbering. It doesn't work. Use SEQ fields instead. Detailed
instructions are available on our Web site at http://www.knopf.com/tips.htm.
