WD98: Numbered List Restarts at One After Saving to HTML (180049)

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: Modify the HTML Document

Manually reformat the incorrect list in the HTML document to start at the correct number, by following these steps:

1. Position the insertion point at the start of the text for the incorrectly numbered paragraph.
   
   The insertion point will be immediately to the right of the number and the tab that follows it.
2. Press the DELETE key on the keyboard to delete the numbering for the paragraph.
3. Type the correct number followed by a space.
   
   The autoformatter will apply the new numbering scheme to the paragraph and the list will be internally connected to the first half of the list.

Method 2: Modify the Document Before Saving as HTML

To manually reformat the list, follow these steps:

1. Open the original Microsoft Word document.
2. Select the lines of text you want numbered in the second part of the original list.
3. On the Format menu, click Bullets And Numbering.
4. Click Customize.
5. In the Customize Numbered List dialog box, click Start At and select the number you want to use to start the numbering sequence.
6. Click OK.

When you save this document in HTML format, Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition will convert the list with the proper HTML code.
