(This is a reposting with a more precise title of the
problem)

I often have sets of lists in my documents and just as
often find that successive lists won't start with 1. I've
tried the restart option, reapplying the format, pasting
the format, changing from number to text to number,
resaving the document, etc. Often the format style button
does not even offer the option to restart numbering.

Any comments/suggestions would be highly appreciated. This
is a super time waster.
