> Does anyone know how I can fix this problem I'm having?

> I'm using Robohelp and each topic has the typical 1-2-3 steps (I'm

> computer software). When I go to edit the topic, Word keeps automatically
> renumbering
> each step in the whole document. That means that some topics that are at
> the end of the Word file
> have steps numbered 134, 135, etc. where I really want them to restart at
> the beginning of each
> topic, not the beginning of the Word document.
>
> Does this make sense? If it doesn't, let me know and I can explain it
> further.

> What do I need to do to make sure that the auto-renumbering doesn't happen
