Which of the following statements accurately describes the behavior of continuing numbering from a previous list when inserting a new numbered list within the same document in MS Word?​

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (B) MS Word provides an option upon creating the new list to 'Continue from previous list', which needs to be explicitly selected.

• In Microsoft Word, when you insert a new numbered list, it typically starts from 1 by default.

• However, Word allows users to manually continue numbering from a previous list.

• You can do this by right-clicking on the new list and selecting "Continue Numbering" or choosing “Continue from Previous List” from the Numbering options.

• This feature is especially useful when lists are interrupted by text or other elements.

• Use "Set Numbering Value" to start the list at a specific number.

• Multilevel lists also support continuing numbering across levels.

• Available under the "Home" tab → Numbering drop-down → Define New Number Format.

• Useful in legal documents, reports, and outlines.

• Section breaks can disrupt list continuity; manual setting may be needed.
