Sorry, the right-click and renumbering option isn't working. The

keeps losing the numbering and the next para after that one reverts to

Hello Claire,
I notice this can happen when the list was created with a version of
OpenOffice.org prior 2.4 when ODF 1.2 was introduced.
The best course of action is unfortunately to copy the list in a new
document pasting as unformatted text and re-create the numbered list
from scratch.
If you have not done too much work yet, I can retract Ch7 of the calc
guide, update the bullet and numbered lists and re-upload it.
Let me know.
Cheers,
Michele
Here is what Jean sent in an email on Jan 23:
A reader of my blog pointed me to issue 100262, where I learned a much
better way to solve the problem. Here is the secret:
1) Right-click on the first list item in the first list in the document
and choose Paragraph, *not* Restart Numbering.
2) On the Paragraph dialog, go to the Outline & Numbering tab.
3) Under Numbering, choose *Restart at this paragraph* and *1* for
*Start with*. Click OK to save.
*Note:* If you do not explicitly choose "1? for Start with, the setting
is not retained!
This is a bit cumbersome, but works fine. Unfortunately I can see no way
to build it into a paragraph style, or we could set up OOoNum123Start to
include that parameter.
(I'm glad I had not got around to changing the template!)
