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!)
