If you use Microsoft Word you probably have use the Numbering feature to number several lines (paragraphs) in sequence. The problem with this feature is that if you try to apply the Numbering feature to several lines scattered within the a document, sometimes Microsoft Word tries to carry-over the previous numbering sequence to additional lines which you may not necessarily want.

To quickly overcome this, here’s what you do:

1. Select/Highlight the Entire Line (Paragraph)

2. Right Click on the Selected Line

3. Select ‘Restart Numbering’ or in Word 2007 select ‘Restart at 1’

If you never used the Numbering feature, here’s how:

1. Select the Lines (paragraphs) that you want to apply a numbering sequence

2. Format > Bullets and Numbering…

3. Click the ‘Number’ tab

4. Select the Number format style you like

5. Click OK

*You can even select the Numbering button in the Formatting Toolbar at the top of the Screen

That's it!
