Mail Merge affects Numbered List sequence in Word 2007

[Cathy B]

I have a 2 page document setup as a tri fold brochure type with 3 columns on
each page. It is an instruction handout so there are numerous topics with
numbered lists within each, all beginning with 1. When I do a mail merge,
each subsequent merged document has numbered lists that continue from
previous instead of restarting at 1. How can I stop this from happening?

Run a macro on the main document that contains the code

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumberstoText

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Create a macro
Sub Macro1()
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumberstoText
End Sub

and run it with the main document open and displayed.

I have never created a macro before, Can you run through exactly how to do it
and where to put this code in?
