# Modifying Numbering in a Numbered List

You can remove the numbering from a paragraph in a numbered list or change the number that a numbered list starts with.

If you want numbered headings, use the Tools - Chapter Numbering menu command to assign a numbering to a paragraph style. Do not use the Numbering icon on the Formatting toolbar.

## To remove the number from a paragraph in a numbered list:

1. Click in front of the first character of the paragraph that you want to remove the numbering from.

2. Do one of the following:

- To change the hierarchical level of a bullet in a list, click in front of the paragraph, then press the Tab key.

- To remove the number and the indent of the paragraph, click the Numbering on/off icon on the Formatting Bar. If you save the document in HTML format, a separate numbered list is created for the numbered paragraphs that follow the current paragraph.

## To change the number that a numbered list starts with:

1. Click anywhere in the numbered list.

2. Choose \<emph\>Format - Bullets and Numbering\</emph\>, and then click the \<emph\>Options\</emph\> tab.

3. Enter the number you want the list to start with in the Start at box.

4. Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.
