Word 2007: Numbered List not restarting after new heading

[leewilmott]

I hope someone can help me...I am really struggling with this.

I have been tasked with creating a template for our company. Everything
‘appears’ as though it is configured correctly – all the styles I want are
available.

I have configured several different heading levels – each are numbered as
follows...

1 Heading 1
2 Heading 1
2.1 Heading 2
2.2 Heading 2
3 Heading 1
3.1 Heading 2
3.1.1 Heading 3
3.1.2 Heading 3

....all good and straight forward....Until...

The problem arises when I want to create a numbered list.

What I end up with is this...

1 Heading 1

1 Apples

• 
  2 Bananas
  • 
    1 Grapes
    • 
      2 Oranges
      • 
        2 Heading 1
        
        3 Pears

        • 
          4 Pineapples
          • 
            2.1 Heading 2
            
            5 Kiwi

            • 
              6 Potato
              • 
                1 Carrots
                • 
                  2 Onions
                  • 
                    2.2 Heading 2
                    
                    7 Cucumber

                    • 
                      8 Peppers
                      • 
                        3 Heading 1

                          10 Tomatoes
                          • 
                            3.1 Heading 2
                            
                            3.1.1 Heading 3

                            
                            3.1.2 Heading 3

                            
                            
                            ....and what I want is this...

Since your numbered list should restart after *any* heading (not after a
particular one), there isn't much you can do but manually restart your list.
Right-click and choose Restart at 1 from the context menu.
