So what happens when you have an unnumbered list of five steps, and the
customer/client/boss says, "I'd like to have that list numbered,
please." You should be able to do it at that moment, quickly and easily.

To always number lists is foolish dogma. To always be *ready* to number
lists is common sense.

It's been written on this list (not by me!) that Help & Manual has good
customer support. Did they confirm that there's no workaround for that
bug?
