1. Make sure that you have installed the new Office 97 patch available at
Microsoft's web site.
2. Refer to the following articles on the Microsoft knowledge base:
Article Q172764 Changes to List Number Style May be Lost
Article Q157844 Format of List Style Unexpectantly Removed
3. Create a new style not based on WORD 'list' style
Hope this helps.

Anyone found a solution to the bugs in auto-numbering lists in
Word 97? Is there a patch? a workaround? anything?
<<<<<<
I pounded on this for days, and couldn't fix it. I ended up not using
automatic numbering. In other words, typing in each number. It stinks.
