SYMPTOMS
In Word 97 for Windows, when you open a document created in another version of Word, numbered lists with multiple levels are converted incorrectly.

Only the first item in the list remains numbered. For example, if the list looks like the following:   1. Dog a. Shepherd b. Collie 2. Cat a. Tabby b. Persian When opened in Word 97, the list is converted to the following:   1. Dog Shepherd Collie Cat Tabby Persian



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the numbered list is inside a table.



WORKAROUND
Create the numbered list outside of a table for correct conversion.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem has been corrected in Word 2000.

Additional query words: multilist multiple tiered sublist alphabetical alphabetic ordering ordered
