It's possible to mix two or more lists together each possessing their own  
numbering scheme. So you could have

1
  1
  2
2
  3
  4

with 1 & 2 being part of one list and 1,2,3 & 4 being a second list. I can  
move any items from 1234 around without changing 12's numbering. So if you  
get something like this with all the numbers at the same level it's  
difficult to see what item belongs to what list and Outline won't help you  
there.

Reset to Normal Ctrl+A Ctrl+Shift+N or skip the Ctrl+A and just Normal the  
lists.

Oo doesn't the QA specifically state what package you have to use to write  
it up in? ;-)
