Word 2007 QuickParts and Auto-Numbering

[Tec-Nico]

Hello, everyone... This post is about the new QuickParts feature included in Word 2007.

I want to create a simple auto-numbered list to turn it into a QuickPart, which is easy... But here comes the tricky part:

There are going to be two types of auto-numbered list you might want to consider:

• The list continues the auto-numbering from a previous list
• The list begins with its own auto-number

Now, after performing some research I found out the default behavior is that the auto-numbering is continued... While in some cases that's just what you need, in others (Like QuickParts that have their own auto-numbered lists of elements) it is not acceptable.

Here is the question:
"How can you create a QuickPart containing an auto-number list that will always begin from 1 whenever you insert it?"

As usual, I will continue researching and checking the thread to see your thoughts regarding this... In case I find the answer I will post it here.

Thanks for your time and interest.

I'll keep looking too.

Searched MS' Knowledge Base and found nothing about it. I will keep playing with it and posting the results of my research here.

Still no luck, but found out you can make sure to store hidden symbols pressing ctrl + *

I thought that by adding a continuous break section the auto-numbering would be restarted, but that didn't happen.

I also tried inserting the auto-number field but it doesn't behave the way the auto-number list does since you can hit enter and the next number won't come up: You will have to insert another auto-number field so it will continue the auto-number count.

Funny enough, the auto-number field has the ability to let you change the string it uses for spacing but it doesn't provide the option to restart the numbering from there.

I was thinking to return to the basics and ask "How do we normally make Word to restart the numbering without us having to select the number and select "Restart Numbering"?"
