Continuous list numbering in linked documents

[viter.alex]

I have a lot of documents based on the same template. When I insert
one such document to another with Includetext ordered list numbering
doesn't restart but continue previous lists. I can manually restart
numbering from 1 but if there is any way to do it automatically

The easiest solution would be to convert numbering to text for each of the
documents (of course, this assumes that you don't need the numbering to
update in the future): Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. In
the Immediate window (Ctrl+G), type

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

and press Enter. Note that if numbering was applied via styles, you will
also have to clear it from the style definitions.

Alternatively, make sure to set up numbering with different paragraph styles
in the different documents; that way, the different lists will be kept
separate in the combined document. Note that this will be time-consuming if
you have a lot of documents.
