Numbering Resets When Printing a Selection

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOM

When you print a selection that contains part of a series of numbered paragraphs, Word for Windows may renumber the selection (only in the printout) starting with 1. For example, if you select the portion of your document that contains paragraphs numbered 5 through 9, Word resets the numbering so 1 through 5 appears on the printout.

This happens with heading numbering, multilevel numbering, or line numbering.

This does not happen in Word 2.x for Windows.

CAUSE

Word resets numbering in the context of each selection you print.

STATUS

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, insert a page break before and after the section you want to print, position the insertion point on this page, and then print the current page. Word will print the page without resetting the numbering.
