WD97: Numbering Reset When Frame Is Anchored to Paragraph (185506)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

This article was previously published under Q185506

SYMPTOMS

When you open a document that was created in an earlier version of Word, numbered lists may not appear the way you expect them to. If the numbered list in the original document contains a framed object, the line on which the framed object appears will be renumbered to one, as in the following example. If the original list looks like this
  1. Cat
  2. Dog
  3. <Framed Object>
  4. Bird
				
it will be converted to resemble this when you open it in Word 97:
  1. Cat
  2. Dog
  1. <Framed Object>
  2. Bird
				

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
