Is there a way other than using a macro or VBA to stop list renumbering
themselves everytimg the styles get refreshed or updated.

In my document, I have 3 main heading (Heading1, Heading 2, Heading 3)

Under every Heading 3, I have a simple 'numbered' list (i, ii, iii, etc)

I have approx. 20 of these lists and each one must have the numbering
restarted so that I can reference to them in a later document e.g. 3.1.2 iv

Everytime I update a style in my document or change any formatting, the
lists are change to continued numbering as if they were one complete list.

How do I stop the lists automatically renumbering and remain at 'restart
numbering' after each Heading3.

Thanks very much,
