I had the same problem awhile back and was given a solution by someone on the Word-PC list. Alas, my memory of it is a little hazy, but I believe what you need to do is enter a blank line as the first item on your list and leave the cursor at the beginning of the next line -- i.e.,
23. [blank]
24. [Cursor is here]
Word will then let you restart the numbering. You'll have to go back and delete the blank line.
Hope that works.

Subject: Problem with Word Numbering
Sorry for the post as this has probably been covered to death...
I'm formatting documents using Word 2000 and am having problems with the Restart Numbering function. I'm using a template where the numbered lists have already been defined, and up to now, have been working correctly. The current document I'm working in will not let me restart my List1 style at 1. I have checked the style properties and everything seems to be in order. I have been trying to manually restart numbering by using Format > Bullets and Numbering > Restart Numbering to no avail. The only difference that I can see between this document and others where the style is working correctly is that the document is approximately 16 MB in size.
Has anyone encountered this problem and have a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
