HELP - how to keep list numbering in one section from affectingnumbers in other sections

E

Ed Cayce

This problem I am seeing in Word 2003 and 2007.

We have a VBA function that inserts an "Addendum" at the beginning of
an existing document. The idea is that the original document should
NOT change at all. We do this by inserting a section at the beginning
of the document, remove the LinkToPrevious for headers/footers in the
old, now second section, and allow user to make changes to the new
first section.

We use protection to only allow the user to edit the first section.

The problem is when there is a numbered list in the original document,
and the user adds a numbered list to the new first section. The
original list in the second section now starts numbering after the
first list! So, if I had 1, 2, 3 in my original document, and added a
list in the addendum that has 1, 2, 3, 4, my old list now starts at
5!

Is there any way I can ensure that any lists in the second section are
left alone?
