Word 2003 Bulleting

[Howard Brazee]

I've been wasting a bunch of time trying to get Word 2003 to not make wrong
guesses.

I want part of a document:
7. Current Project - Yada yada
a. 06/02/2005 - Yada Yada
1. Yada Yada
2. Yada yada as in the following:
· Bulleted line
3. Yada Yada
4. Yada Yada
5. Yada Yada
6. Yada Yada
b. 06/03/2005 - Yada Yada



Trouble is, each time I insert the bulleted line, the subsequent numbered
bullets renumber. If I tell them to continue instead of renumber, they tab
over, but keep a 1.

I tried this for a half hour without being able to out guess Word.

Are there any tricks I can try here?

In Word, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type |
uncheck everything under "Apply as you type" and "Automatically as you
type" | OK.

I just tried that.

I then went to the following which unfortunately says:

7. Current Project - Yada yada
a. 06/02/2005 - Yada Yada
1. Yada Yada
2. Yada yada as in the following:
· Bulleted line
1. Yada Yada
2. Yada Yada
3. Yada Yada
4. Yada Yada
b. 06/03/2005 - Yada Yada

To line 1 after the bulleted line and told it to continue numbering. I got
this.

7. Current Project - Yada yada
a. 06/02/2005 - Yada Yada
1. Yada Yada
2. Yada yada as in the following:
· Bulleted line
1. Yada Yada
1. Yada Yada
2. Yada Yada
3. Yada Yada
b. 06/03/2005 - Yada Yada

So I deleted the bulleted line, set everything to 1-6, and put the bulleted line
back in. Line 3 renumbered itself back to 1.
