      I want to create a list where the Numbering Style format is (i), (ii), (iii), (iv)… but when I select this option from the Format list, it just reverts itself to 1,2,3,4… To test, I tried picking other styles too but the same thing happened.

      This is what I did:
      In my Paragraph Style’s Bullets and Numbering section I set up:
      List Type: Numbers,
      List “numbered” (I created and named a new list and did nothing with it),
      Level: 1
      Numbering style: I select i,ii etc and it appears to be fine until I return to the Paragraph Style Options box and the Format is 1,2 etc
      Number: (^#)^t
      Mode: Continues from Previous Level
      Restart Numbers at this level After: Any previous level

      Any ideas?

      Many thanks in advance

      Sounds very strange. Maybe rebuild your preferences? Is it just one document, or all documents?

      It WAS just affecting one of my documents. I thought. Because I created a list just like I described only a couple of weeks ago, in a different document. But NOW, when I either create a brand new document or when I edit the paragraph style of the document that did work fine, the same problem happens.

      I rebuilt my prefs as you suggested, but – alas – it didn’t help.

      But: EUREKA!!! I had a recently lapsed trial version of World Tools installed. Wondering if that could be messing with things, I just now removed the In-Tools and Rorohiko folders from the Plugins folder. That did the trick!!!

      Many thanks!

      Hey Karin,
      2 years ago I know but your post has just saved me from thinking I was going completely mad! Exact same problem with World Tools – clearly something they need to look at.
      Thanks loads
      Justine
