Can't find satisfactory post on starting 2nd+ procedures in the same topic at step "1"...

[kdeuler]

All-

Can anyone recommend the correct use of Paragraph and/or list styles to achieve the following in a RH topic?

Procedure X

1) Step one of procedure x

2) Step two of procedure x

3) Step three of procedure x

Procedure Y

1) Step one of procedure y

2) Step two of procedure y

3) Step three of procedure y

When using Paragraph sty.es set with autonumbering, I get this (note that the continuation of step numbering in Procedure Y...)

Procedure X

1) Step one of procedure x

2) Step two of procedure x

3) Step three of procedure x

Procedure Y

4) Step one of procedure y

5) Step two of procedure y

6) Step three of procedure y

I'm looking for the ability to both continue numbering after inserting a non-numbered item (such as code sample or graphic, etc.) This appears to be the default behavior. AND, I want to be able to start separate procedures within the same topic at step 1.

Postings on this subject on this formum seem inconclusive. Case in point:

I used to the way unstructured Framemaker paragraph styles work, where you have an inititial paragraph style with numbering 1 (or a), for example, and subsequent steps use a style that adds 1 to the number of the prevous step style. But, there doesn't appear to be such a feature in RH? Please advise how you've created the numbering in multiple procedures in the same doc.

Thanks in advance.

That thread is mainly concerned with FM to RH lists; you might want to check out Peter Grainge’s site on lists – grainge.org

OK, from further poking around, I found that one needs to make a multilist style, then the style to paragraph style. Maybe I'll write a faq on this.

Thx.
