New documents don’t renumber (Word 2000)

Topic

New Reply

Normally when you open Word , new documents start with doc1 and continue numbering throughout your use. Currently, mine is not doing this. It continues from the previous use and starts for example with new document15. Can’t find anything that would change this in options unless I’m missing it. Is there a way to restart the document numbering for new documents?

Reboot your machine & then
1. Click an empty spot on the taskbar & press F3.
2. Make sure that the look in box is your primary hard drive & that “include subfolders” is ticked.
3. Type *.tmp;~*.do?;~*.wbk in the “named” box & search.

Delete everything you find.

Hope this helps.
