Yea, I realize that. But the problem I described was an export/import
problem between Abiword and Word, in that continuing list created by AW
were not recognized as such by Word, which rendered them as distinct
autonomous lists. Subsequently applying "continue" in Word to each such
segment of list works, but...

I'm not very used to Word. But the option is there, in the "Bullets and
Numbering" dialog, two check boxes at the bottom of the "Numbered" tab,
"continue list" and "restar numbering". It's sometimes grayed out and I
don't know why.
My 1¢ ;-)
