Numbered list button behavior

Sometimes when I use the "Numbering" -button under Paragraph i will get the numbered list that I want.
Other times it just gives me a new chapter with Heading 1.

What am I missing here?

I want it to always produce a numbered list, I never want it to produce a new chapter.

I suspect you may be inadvertently clicking on the incorrect icon sometimes - they are close together and look similar.
Avoid it by adding only the icon you need to the quick access toolbar

Thanks! You are right. I found out myself and did just that actually.
Just now (as I'm typing!) I realized that the button I've been clicking is more than a button, it's dropdown menu as well. So just clicking it I assume gives you the command that was most recently used or something like that, hence the perceived erratic behavior. I am so smart.

You are welcome
Thanks for the reps

It is by learning from our mistakes that we get smarter!
Now that we have both solved the problem, please go to Thread Tools (at top of thread) and mark the thread as solved

thanks
