HELP with numbered lists

[Lan]

I have a lot of documents with numbered lists where I now need to insert
extra lines. When I do so, the new lines also have numbering. Is there ANY
way to prevent this?!?

Thanks!
Btw, I'm using MSWord 2003.

Lan

Use Shift+Enter to insert a new line

Doug has made one suggestion, another is to apply an un-numbered paragraph
style to the interim paragraphs. The choice will largely be determined by
whether you want space between the paragraphs.

Create yourself a numbered style where the first level has no number, and
the margins are set correctly for your document. The second level on down
have the numbering- it takes a bit to set up, but once done, is nice to use.
To insert extra lines, simply push "shift-enter" and you'll get an extra
line. To reset numbering, simply de-promote a line.

Numbering is a PIA in Word, plain and simple. The headstands one has to do
to bypass the marketing department "improvements" drive me nuts from time to
time. I hope that MS rethinks how this is done in the future.

Good luck.
