I am importing a text file into Word 2000 that contains numbered paragraphs.
Each imported document may have several series of numbered paragraphs
beginning at 1. I have written code to format each paragraph as a numbered
paragraph, but it will not restart the numbering at 1 for each series of
paragraphs. Can someone suggest a way to do this? Thanks!

You should look at the information available on the Internet on HOW Word
numbering works in this version of Word. The following sites should help
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word
word.mvps.org
http://www.syntagma.co.uk
There are really only two basic approaches you can use
- a different style for each set of numbering
- formatting the paragraph just before a numbering block with an invisible
"first level" of a outline numbering, and have the second level be the actual
numbering one sees. The second level is set to restart after each first level,
and so restarts reliably.
