Robohelp 2022 - Ordered list with paragraph or "note" in the middle of the list that isn't numbered

I'm trying to remember how to work around the following scenario:

I have a numbered list and in the middle of that list, there is a paragraph that isn't a "number", it's just a paragraph (like a NOTE:  follwed by some text).  How can I add my Note and have Robohelp keep in order with the previous list.   See below for example. My list goes back to 1 rather than picking up where I left off.

 

  1. alfjasfj aldsakfjalkf jalfadlskfj
  2. ladjfalfj fjaksdjdslfjad
  3. adfjadlsfjsalkldfjlak fjlkadsfj aaklkdfjafjasdlkfj

         NOTE:  sdjflafjasdfj'ad faklfjalkfjalfj asdflkdsfjaklsdfjaldjf ladfjkdfjakls

    I did already.  Thanks, Peter.  


    Update 5 fixed the issue.

    I believe some issues related to this were fixed in Update 5.

    I said "were fixed" not "will be". Click the Help menu.

    Usual method is to use a Shift-Enter (soft return) after the text on point 3, and then an Enter after the Note: text to advance to point 4.

    I guess I should have added that the  Notes are formatted with a paragraph style.  So, I think what happens is once we apply the Note style to the text, the list ends.  When I click the button to turn the list back on, it starts at 1.  I then go up to the Restart Numbering From field in content properties and put in my desired number and nothing changes.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. the field for Restart Numbering From:  to the correct number and nothing happens.  It just stays at 1.

    I can't tell from your screenshot where your insertion point is, but starting the numbering up after the Note: line should start at 1 again - highlight that to set the restart numbering.
