Microsoft Word Tips: How to continue numbering

Numbering in word is easy as 1, 2, 3! In word documents you are able to use either Bullet Points or Numbers to make text jump out of the page. As you can see below it makes a list easier to read and brings the reader in!
1.    Make a Blog Post
2.    Upload it  to the Blog
3.    Profit!!!

 

But what happens when you want to stop the list, type a paragraph and then continue where the previous list left off?

 

You get to your numbering section you need to go to the Home tab, Paragraph Group. And located at the top left of this group are the bullets and number command buttons.Numbering 1

 

To turn the Numbering on click on the Numbering Command button in this group and to turn it off you can click it again and this will turn off the number on that line.

If you want to then re-continue your numbering later in the document, repress the Numbering Command button.

You will see next to the new number a Lightning Bolt icon, this icon is a menu that will either show you 1 of 2 options: Continue Numbering or Restart Numbering. Select the option that you need and carry on typing.
