SYMPTOMS
When you apply Page Break Before formatting (click the "Line and Page Breaks" tab in the Paragraph dialog box) to a list item in a multilevel list, the items in the list may be numbered incorrectly.



WORKAROUND
Instead of using paragraph formatting to insert the page break, insert a page break by clicking Break on the Insert menu.



STATUS
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows.



MORE INFORMATION
If you apply Page Break Before formatting to a paragraph that is a numbered level in a list, items that are listed under the next item in the same level may be numbered incorrectly.

For example, if you apply Page Break Before formatting to item B in the following list   1. TEXT A. Text 1. text 2. text 3. text 4. text B. Text 1. text 2. text 3. text the list is renumbered as follows:   1. TEXT A. Text 1. text 2. text 3. text 4. text B. Text 5. text 6. text 7. Text NOTE: The list is renumber differently depending on the placement of the Page Break Before formatting. For example, you may find that a level number is repeated before the sequence continues.
