If numbered lists continue across records instead of restarting from 1 for each record, the issue can occur when using a conditional template with numbered lists while generating multiple records into a single Word document with page breaks.
When Apsona generates a single document, it relies on the formatting structure of the main template. If the numbered list definitions used in the conditional template are not also present in the main template, Word may not preserve the list structure correctly, causing numbering to continue across records.
To resolve this, either:
Use the affected conditional template as the main/standalone template, so its numbered list formatting is preserved.
Change the merge output option to Separate files for each record, which allows each document to start its numbering from 1.
When troubleshooting numbered-list issues in Word Merge, always verify that:
The main template contains the required numbered list definitions.
The conditional template uses compatible list formatting.
If numbering must restart for each record, consider generating separate files for each record.
Using the affected template as the main template or generating separate files ensures that numbered list formatting is preserved and numbering restarts as expected.
