Resume Numbering Easily Using Smart Tags

Sometimes you need to interrupt a numbered list to insert a paragraph of regular text. To quickly resume numbering on the next paragraph, click the Numbering button on the Formatting toolbar. Then, when the AutoCorrect Options smart tag appears, select the option to Continue Numbering. The numbering will pick up right where you left off.

Editor's Note: If the AutoCorrect Options button doesn't automatically appear, click AutoCorrect Options on the Tools menu, and then select the Show AutoCorrect Options buttons check box. Next, click the AutoFormat As You Type tab, and then select the Automatic numbered lists check box.
