This problem occurs when editing large documents by many people in word 2002.
The numbered list in question is a custom style, with only 1 level. The list is broken and restarted many times throughout this one document. However, after it has been opened and edited by another user, all the numbered lists change...
Example:
1. first list
2. first list
3. first list
(paragraph text)
1. second list -first item on subsequent lists have correct numbering
4. second list -all following items seem to continue the original list???
5. second list
etc...
if anyone has any suggestions on how to stop this from happening, it would be most appreciated. When the problem continues over a document with over 100 pages, correcting it takes hours.
alternatively, is it possible to convert the numbers to normal text without re-typing them all?
Many Thanks
