Numbering Restart Dialog Box
The Numbering Restart dialog box opens when you select Restart from the Division Title Number, Formal Block Title Number, List Number , or Footnote Number dialog boxes. The dialog box also appears when you are restarting numbering on elements that are styled as Block, Inline, Hidden, or Paragraph. It allows you to select the element that should trigger a numbering restart when it is encountered in the document.

As a matter of technique, a numbering restart option should only be configured for an ancestor of the numbered element. The restarted numbering will then apply for all instances of the numbered element within the scope of the ancestor element. You may see unpredictable results of you do not follow this standard.
For division titles, the Numbering Restart at list provides the following choices:
Previous division level – restart at parent level in division, the default
No restart - continue numbering, do not restart
Restart at an ancestor element - the list contains the contexts of all elements that are permitted as ancestors of the division whose title you are styling.
For formal block titles, the Numbering Restart at list provides the following choices:
Parent - restart at parent element
No restart – continue numbering, the default
Restart at an ancestor element - the list contains the contexts of all elements that are permitted as ancestors of the formal block whose title you are styling.
