How Do I Handle Interrupted Alphabetic Or Numeric Lists Where I Have Added A Graphic Or A Note?

Answer

This is controlled by the settings of the style objects. There are a number of default styles in Author-it that have a "Skip numbering" setting - List Continue, List Note, Wide Graphic, or you can create your own.

You should also check that the style has the appropriate outline level defined under the Style Definition tab. It is this outline level that determines the level of the list - lists at a lower level are reset by lists of a higher level.

For example, a list with the outline level 1, will reset the numbering of a list with the outline level 2, but a list at level 1 will not be reset by a list at level 2. A paragraph with no numbering or outline level will reset all lists.


1. List Number (uses outline level 1)
2. List Number
	1. List Number 2 (uses outline level 2)
	2. List Number 2
3. List Number
	List Note (has the setting "skip numbering")
4. List Number
	1. List Number 2... (numbering reset by List Number which uses outline level 1)
Body text
1. List Number (reset by Body text, which has no numbering or outline level)
