Me too!

The cynical Scott Turner comments:
Yeah, two of them.

>1. Don't migrate to Word 2000.

Too late. Not my choice, Changed jobs, and fell into Word 2000 when I got
here.

>3. Manually number lists.

Or, I suppose, set up a SEQ field for EVERY SINGLE NUMBERED LIST. No, I am
not hysterical. Why do you ask?

>2. Don't use Word.

Too late. See above.

>4. Create your own list numbering using VB for applications.

Microsoft never has a reason to fix those pesky Word "features". At least,
not for years. The problem with all Word numbered lists and headings
suddenly changing to the number 1 throughout *seems* to have been fixed in
Word 2000 - at least, it hasn't happened to me yet - so perhaps this new
numbered list "feature" will be fixed after we keep reporting it for a
decade or so through at least three major "upgrades".
