SYMPTOMS
If you manually type a numbering scheme followed by text, so that the
Automatic Numbered Lists feature is invoked, the number you type
automatically changes by one if numbering previous to this item was within
plus or minus one of the number you just typed.
CAUSE
This functionality is by design. After you type a number, AutoCorrect looks
backward through the document for the closest numbered list. If it finds a
numbered list in which the last item is numbered plus or minus
one from the number you just typed, Word changes the number you just
typed so that it becomes the next item in the list.
WORKAROUND
To prevent the number from attaching to the previous list, press CTRL+Z on
the keyboard to undo the automatic formatting.
