Reply To: paragraph numbering

You are correct in that you simply cannot have “Restart Numbering” and “Continue Numbering” in one and the same paragraph style. They are mutually exclusive. Eating vs. having cake, I think it's called.

* the check-box within the paragraph style: 'mode' doesn't give the desired result

Ah — that's called a drop down list. Yeah, that's where you choose either mode. You can (a) create a new paragraph style, based on the old one, with the sole difference that it restarts the list, or (b) manually select “Restart Numbering” in the paragraph panel menu.

Hope it helped. (And from the Netherlands as well!)
