INTRODUCTION
This article describes the Microsoft Word 2002 issue that is fixed in the Word 2002 post-Service Pack 3 (SP3) hotfix package that is dated June 10, 2005.

The issue that the hotfix package fixes
This hotfix package fixes the following issue that was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:  You copy text that contains a list template or a list style that includes a multilevel numbered outline from a Word 2002 document. The numbers for the first level appear in the following format:

1.

2.

3.

The numbers for the second level appear in the following format:

1.1.

1.2.

1.3.

The numbers for the third level appear in the following format:

1.1.1.

1.1.2.

1.1.3.

If you paste this text to a different Word 2002 document, only the first level of the multilevel numbered outline appears.

Word 2002 may crash if you use one of the following methods to recover the other levels of the multilevel numbered outline:  You right-click the first number in the list. Then, you click Restart numbering. You right-click the first number in list. Then, you click Continue numbering. You right-click the first number in the list. You click Bullets and Numbering. Then, you select a different numbering option.
