Fix The Numbers and Bullets User Experience!

[JustANiceUser]

In regarrds to bullets and numbering:

If a user clicks on the numbering or bullets toolbar item, often the
numbering will start above the current line even if the user has pressed
"Enter." This makes little sense.

If a user has begun entering a numbered list, and the autocorrect system
catches it, it will often start numbering at an item number greater than 1.
It will miss at least the first item. Often a user will find the final item
in the list (Being edited) will be numbered twice, and sometimes the number
will not match.

Except for very simple numbering jobs in documents that will not be heavily
edited, don't use these toolbars. Use styles.

document

bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets.html, the
