Restarting numbering for a new list

Scenario: You have typed a list in a document and formatted it as a multilevel or numbered list, or the document you have received from a colleague already has a numbered list set up. You would like to insert a new list directly underneath the list or at any point in the document. Word will automatically continue the numbering sequence on the new list, but you want to restart the numbering from your insertion point.

Let's see how we can do this, as follows:

1. Start a new list by choosing the numbered or multilevel list icon.
2. Let's say you notice that a 3) appears instead of a 1) to start the new list.
3. Right-click next to the 3) and choose Restart at 1 from the shortcut menu provided. Alternatively, you can choose Set Numbering Value... and choose a number to set your list to start at, as illustrated in the following screenshot:

4. Click on the OK button to commit the change.
