Template - Cannot make style for numbering that allows list to res

I'm creating a template, and having issues with creating a style for numbered
lists.

I have made a style that is based on the built in style "List Number," and
haven't changed anything else besides the Number Position and Text positions
for the indentation.

Problem:
This style, when applied, links all the lists into one continuous list no
matter where they are placed in the document. When an individual list number
is selected and told to restart, it doesn't. If you press ctrl-z, it will
restart, but the restart reverts to continuous once you make any other change
in the document.

Thoughts?

If you change a numbered style by *updating* it, for example Update style
name to Match Selection from the context (right-click) menu, then manual
restarts may be lost. Use the Modify Style dialog box to change the style
instead.

Note that if you can make use of an outline list, having (say) level 1
restart level 2, that will be a lot easier to maintain.
