I have a few questions (MS Word 2003):

1) Say I start a numbered list. And maybe the 5th entry has a sublist (a,b,c,d) - so you hit tab and MS Word also auto formats the sublist. After you are done with the sublist, how do you return to the main list? (start from #6).

2) Somehow I run into nightmares where the numbered list because fragmented. For example, I really want a numbered list from 1-40 but for some reason I have two lists going from 1-20. It seems like every time I try to change 1 number, 2 other things get messed up (whether it be the bulleted number, the spacing, or the indent, etc.) Is there any easy fix for this type of situation?

3) Is there some great website resource that will tell me exactly how to contol MS Word auto-formatting so its actually helpful the way I'm sure its meant to be?

Thank you~
