Mail Merge: want numbered list to restart on each document even after saving

[lifeimproves]

I have a WORD document with numbered lists. When I do a mail merge with Excel to bring in addresses, it works fine initially. When I save the document and reopen it, the numbered lists are continuous through all pages, all letters, when it should restart with each letter as it did initially. Does that make sense?

Letter 1 has a numbered list 1-7
Letter 2 has a numbered list 1-7
etc

When the document is saved and reopened:
Letter 1 has a numbered list 1-7
Letter 2 has a numbered list 8-14
Letter 3 has a numbered list 15-21
etc

Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

The simplest approach would be to use the following macro to lock the numbers before saving:

Sub LockNumbering()
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText (wdNumberAllNumbers)
End Sub
