Restart AutoNum Field

Hello all,
Does anybody know how to restart numbering for AUTONUM
fields in the middle of a document?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Angelo

As the Help topic says, "In paragraphs that are formatted with the
built-in heading styles, Word restarts the numbering at 1 in each
successive heading level. If headings that contain AUTONUM fields are
followed by body text paragraphs that also contain AUTONUM fields,
Word restarts the numbering of the body text at 1 after each heading.
If the headings don't contain AUTONUM fields, body text paragraphs
that contain AUTONUM fields are numbered in a continuous, sequential
series throughout the document."

There is no field switch or other magic incantation to restart the
numbering.

Interesting!
But I wonder about the help implying that (only?) the built-in heading styles act to restart?
It seems you can restart with a hidden paragraph containing an AUTONUM field, if you give that paragraph any outline level that's not "Body text" in "Format > paragraph".

Regards,
Klaus
