WD97: Multi-level Numbered List Converts Incorrectly
This article was previously published under Q185144
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
This problem occurs if the numbered list is inside a table.
Create the numbered list outside of a table for correct conversion.
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.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Word 97 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
