How can I continue a numbered list that is interspersed with paragraphs?
Word has a feature that allows you to easily pick up numbering where you previously left off. This is great for numbered lists that are interspersed with paragraphs that have a different format. In general, this feature is accessed as follows: 1. Enter the first portion of your numbered list. For example, if your list has 17 items, and there is a heading after item 4, then you would enter the first four items in the numbered list. 2. Enter the heading or paragraph which interrupts the list. 3. Enter the rest of your numbered list. The list should begin with 1 again. 4. Right-click on the first paragraph after the list interruption. A Context menu appears. 5. Choose Bullets and Numbering from the Context menu. This displays the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, with the Numbered tab selected. 6. Choose Continue Previous List at the bottom of the dialog box. 7. Click on OK. The dialog box disappears and the list numbering is modified.
