I create styles often and make about four levels.  I
usually type four or five items as Level 1.  Then I will
type below the first item in the Level 1 for a Level 2
entry.  Then I will type another Level 2 entry below a
second Level 1 entry.  The second Level 2 entry is
numbered consecutivly as 2.  What I want to do is make
this number "2" the beginning of a new Level 2 list.  I
choose to format the Level 2 entry numbered with a "2" and
I want to choose "Restart Numbering" and change it to
a "1".  The problem is that both "Restart Numbering"
and "Continue previous number" are greyed-out.  What is up
with this?

What you have described is an outline-numbered list. In order to have it
restart numbering automatically, you need to set it up as described at
