Continue numbering after snippet - it always restarts.

Question

RH8 HTML
Hi all.
I have several topics that are using the same 5 steps of a procedure, which I've put into a snippet, and then add several more numbered steps to the list which are specific to the topic.
I want the added steps, that aren't part of the snippet to continue the numbering. right now I have the 5 numbered steps in the snippet, and the added steps specific to each topic restart at 1, rather than continuing from 6.
eg.
1 Go to Search
2 Enter your text
3 Select your criteria
4 Choose the .....
5 Click Search.
1 From the ... window click .....   -  This step is a continuation from the previous 5 but the numbering doesn't continue, instead it restarts.
Is there a way to continue numbering from a snippet?
Thanks.
Nick

Hi,
I think that's it impossible to let the numbering simply continue. You can however start the next list where you left of in your snippet. Select the number and right click. Select Bullets and Numbering. Check Restart numbering at and select the number you want your list to continue. Note that you'll have to change all these lists when you add an extra step in your snippet
Some other options you may consider:
- Can you split the lists with a header or something? Something like: This consists of two procedures, 1. Your snippet and 2. Your 'hard' text.
- Are these steps basic steps? If so, you can use a variable like: First, do x. and set that variable in your list. You then set these first five steps as basic knowledge in a getting started tutorial and reference that tutorial.
