Sorry, I was somewhat off the point. However, if the export to Word
applied the appropriate style to paragraphs of the list, it sounds like
it should work (but I'm just speculating).

restart the numbering is "embodied" in the list elements -- maybe there
is a style attribute that says "restart numbering"?)
