Approximately 50% of the time, that particular box is disabled.

It's also on the context menu; sometimes it does nothing, sometimes it 
resets the *next* item to 1 (*not* the item I clicked), and sometimes it 
actually does exactly what I want.

Not really, no.

However, since every page is virtually identical and I created them all 
with a large cut and paste operation, presumably it is now impossible to 
unlink them and restore deterministic behaviour?

Anyway, I just finished downloading MiKTeX. I'm going to write the 
****ing test plan with LaTeX. At least that knows how to number things 
consistently. (Not to mention I don't have to spend 20 minutes tweaking 
the spacing to get a reasonably printout.)
