Continue numbering merging different documents

[PaulKwakman]

Hi,
we are using Aspose Words for Java 19.10.
There are three documents, each with a list merged into a 4th document.
As the input is from different documents, the numbering restarts at each document.
Is there a way to change a mailmerge setting that the 4th document has a continued numbering, or can we change that 4th document afterwards that:
1.
2.
3.
1.
2.
1.
2.
3.
4.

will result in:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.

Thanks a lot in advance.
with kind regards,
Paul Kwakman

@PaulKwakman,

To ensure a timely and accurate response, please ZIP and attach the following resources here for testing:

• Your simplified input Word documents
• Aspose.Words for Java 19.11 generated output DOCX file showing the undesired behavior
• Your expected DOCX file showing the desired output. You can create this document by using MS Word.
• Please also create a standalone simple Java application (source code without compilation errors) that helps us to reproduce your current problem on our end and attach it here for testing. Please do not include Aspose.Words JAR files in it to reduce the file size.

As soon as you get these pieces of information ready, we will start investigation into your scenario and provide you more information. Thanks for your cooperation.
