Hi All:
I'm moving an existing doc set into a Word (2003) template that I created.
My list styles use a Word list template. I have the first level set up as
a List Intro that causes the following list to restart at 1 when I press
ENTER (Level 2). Level 3 uses a,b,c and Level 4 uses i,ii,iii. It all
works beautifully until I throw bullets into the mix, which mess up both
the indents and numbering restarts.
Let's say I'm writing installation steps. Step 5 branches so that you have
two options. Each of those options then has 2 or 3 steps. What I want is:
5. At the prompt blah blah, do one of the following:
* If you want to install the database on this machine:
a. Blah blah
b. Blah blah
* If you want to install the database on a different machine:
a. Blah blah
b. Blah blah
c. Blah blah
6. Yada yada
What I end up with is:
5. At the prompt blah blah, do one of the following:
* If you want to install the database on this machine:
i. Blah blah
ii. Blah blah
* If you want to install the database on a different machine:
iii. Blah blah
iv. Blah blah
v. Blah blah
6. Yada yada
Because the a, b, c level (Level 3) is at the the same indentation as the
bullets, I have to resort to using i,ii,iii (Level 4), which is not the
end of the world. The larger problem is that I can't restart Level 4
without a previous Level 3 step, and I don't have one. Is there a way to
do this without manually restarting iii?
Conceptually, it seems to me that the problem is having all the lists tied
together. In FM or QuickSilver I would have separate lists for a,b,c and
i,ii,iii.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for any help!
