MS Word for Mac lists (restart numbering)
I have a 300+-page document with hundreds of short three-level numbered lists. Is there a way to tell each list to restart numbering (without manually selecting "restart numbering" on each one)?
Hi, I can find no way of achieving this I'm afraid, nor does this article suggest it is possible - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-bulleted-or-numbered-list-in-word-for-mac-eaedb84a-82c2-41a7-8c20-ab6866c9160a
I found a way around this annoying lack of functionality, at least in Word for Mac:
- create a numbered list in Google Docs or Libre Office
- Cut and paste the list into MS Word
- The little cut-and-paste menu will pop up; select "Keep text only"
- Select the list and click the numbered-list icon. Your list will now start at 1.
- Ta-daa!
