Restart Numbering in Numbered List Word 2010

These instructions will show you how to replace the missing functionality of "restart numbering" in a list of items in a table in Microsoft Office Word 2010. By default, the numbered list will continue with the next number in the list when going to the next cell. This allows you to start the numbering again with 1 in the next cell.

What a strange thing Word 2010 is. I just upgraded from 2003, and the philosophy is so different! 2010 is almost a do-it-your-selfer. Thanks SO MUCH for this easy instruction - a little hard to see, and I had to pay attention l- but it was absolutely what I needed to have to continue with my document. Other websites had tons of words, but no help!

@SuziRozi Thank you very much Suzi Rozi! As I think you know, people don't say thank you to each other that much any more. I it means a lot to me that I helped you. I answer several hundred questions online each week, and of answers that need a video to explain the steps to perform a give taks, it happens that they are explained anywhere else. So, thank you, and you're welcome!

After a few stops and starts, as my vision is not to good, I managed to do this. Many thanks for your very helpful video. I look forwared to checking out everything else you have to offer. Thank you!

@anne7745 I continue to add vifdeos as I need them to answer customer questions, so check back often. They are ususally something about which you would say initially, "oh, yeah... that has to be pretty straigtforward in Word", and then later find that not only isn't something striagforward, but it's completely non-intuitive. (see my clip about how to separate a mail merged document into individual word docs).

Is there any sound with the demonstration?

[michaeljhannigan]

@buzzedman There is not. At least with this one. It was just a quick thing I threw together. I figured that since I was doing it I may as well capture it, since it could help other people. So I didn't create the video with "tutorial" in mind, which is probably why it's so easy to understand!

My problem is that the left margin, indent and tabs all get messed up EVERY TIME I restart numbering in the document. They did this in your video as well. Do you know how to fix this?

[rodmorrow]

Neat idea for training. Only I could not get any sound...are there voice instructions that go with the video?

[michaeljhannigan]

@anne7745 That's very nice. Thank you.

[michaeljhannigan]

@anne7745 Don't get too frustrated because there isn't any audio, so hearing it would be impossible. Just follow what you see on the screen and it will only take you a minute and 9 seconds to do.

[anne7745]

I cannot hear sound with this demonstration - its frustrating!
