Microsoft Word Continue With Numbering After Indent
Hi. Ed
My Name is David B.
Independent Advisor I'd like to help.
To do this, do the following:
1. Position the cursor where you want a numbered or bulleted list.
2. On the Home tab, click the arrow next to bullets or Numbering.
3. Choose a style and start writing.
4. Press ENTER every time you want a new bullet or number, or press ENTER twice to end the list.
Tip: When you start a paragraph with an asterisk and a space (*) or with the number 1 and a period (1.), Word will display the AutoCorrect Options button and start generating a bulleted list or a numbered list, respectively. If you do not want a bulleted or numbered list, click the AutoCorrect Options button, and then click Stop automatic bulleted list creation or Stop automatic creation of numbered lists.
Reset numbering in 1:
1. Click on the item you want to be the first in the new list.
2. CTRL + click or click on the item and then click Reset Numbering.
Indent to list items
1. Select the lines in the list to which you want to indent.
2. On the Home tab, in the paragraph group, click Increase indent.
Remove items from a list:
1. Select the items you want to delete.
2. Press DELETE.
Stop a numbered or bulleted list, follow one of these procedures:
• At the end of the bulleted or numbered list, press the RETURN key twice.
• Select the line of text you do not want in the list, and then on the Home tab, in the paragraph group, click Bulleted List or numbered list.
Regards...

Hi David -
Thanks for responding.
In order to exit a numbered list, I am already pressing Enter twice. My expectation then is that I should be able to start a new list by simply entering 1, period, and a single space. Instead, what happens is that the list is continued from the previous list. The number one does appear as the first item but is very much indented to the right. If I then decrease indentation all the way to the left (either by pressing Back Tab or clicking the Decrease Indent icon), the number changes to the next value for that level.
I am able to reset numbering by selecting that option for the new list. I am also able to start a new (non-continuous) list by selecting the number icon in the Home tab. The issue is that I should not have to do either of these two options. It is very time-consuming to have to do either of these options while I am creating many lists.
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to replicate the issue by following your steps.
If you send me a copy of the document, referencing this thread in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.

In this case, by default, the word comes with certain parameters and criteria already established automatically, which you can customize to your way and way of working.
In that case I leave you some information, in the following link:

Hi David -
Thanks for your response. I looked at the information in the link you provided me. It appears to describe a new style. I will use this information if necessary. In the meantime, I have forwarded my document to Doug to let him look at it. I need to see if I can resolve the issue using standard Word.
Thanks - Ed

Hi Doug -
Thanks for responding to my private email and validating the issue. From your response, it appears that, in fact, Word is operating incorrectly. DO you know how I can raise this as an issue to Microsoft?
Thanks - Ed

The best way to handle lists in documents that are going to be edited is by attaching numbering levels to styles following the instructions given here:
How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly
You do not have to have any number for level one style and it will restart numbering.

You may have to adjust the indentation around numbers to accommodate larger numbers (numbers with more digits). See http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/NumberAlignment2007.htm#NumberedLists.
