quick parts auto numbering

[Guest]

I am trying to save auto numbered paragraph in Quick Parts. I have saved them
as Quick Parts and as "insert text only" but when I insert any Quick Part
that has more then one paragraph which are auto numbered it will only insert
the paragraph starting at number 1 and not as the continuing number to run on
from the document I am working in and inserting the autotext into. Single
paragraphs will insert fine and the number will insert as the next auto
number in sequence. It is only when I have more than one paragraph in the
Quick Parts saved that it reverts back to number 1 in the auto numbering list.

Did you make sure to select whole paragraphs before creating the building
block?

Was the auto numbering created via a paragraph style?

Yes I selected the whole paragraphs (no soft returns) and used numbering via
the format bullets and numbering customising my own format (this format was
also emulated in the base document where I want the building block to be
inserted). I tried it by NOT using the paragraph mark at end of paragraph
and also by using it and neither work when you have a multi level list of
numbered paragraphs to be inserted. Single level work fine with or without
the return saved.

Hmm, I can't reproduce what you are describing... When I test it, it seems
to work as expected.

What happens if you set this up as a multilevel list attached to paragraph
styles? Place the insertion point in the list, and choose Home tab |
Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. (If you need help with the
dialog box, see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html.) Does that
improve things at all?
