WD97: Numbering Reset When Frame Is Anchored to Paragraph

SYMPTOMS

When you open a document that was created in an earlier version of Word, numbered lists may not appear the way you expect them to. If the numbered list in the original document contains a framed object, the line on which the framed object appears will be renumbered to one, as in the following example. If the original list looks like this

  1. Cat
  2. Dog
  3. <Framed Object>
  4. Bird
				

it will be converted to resemble this when you open it in Word 97:

  1. Cat
  2. Dog
  1. <Framed Object>
  2. Bird
