SYMPTOMS
When you apply Page Break Before formatting within a numbered list,
Microsoft Word may number the items incorrectly. For example, when you type
the list, format it as a numbered list, and then apply Page Break Before
formatting to the third item in the list, Word renumbers the list as
follows:
- Collie
- Labrador
<page break inserted here>
- Spaniel
- Beagle
- Terrier
The results are the same if you apply the Page Break Before formatting
before you number the list.
To locate the Page Break Before options, click Paragraph on the Format
menu, and then click the Text Flow tab.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, insert a Next Page section break in place of
the Page Break Before formatting. To do this, click Break on the Insert
menu, click Page Break, and then click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in
Microsoft Word 97 for Windows and Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition.
