Using the enumitem module, you don't need to edit the LaTeX; the module provides you with a new environment that does it for you. First, just to be clear, Richard is not referring to the enumitem LaTeX package (which you also need and apparently already have). The enumitem module is a LyX module. If it did not come with your version of LyX, you can download it from http://www.lyx.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/5593/enumitem.module. Store it in your local layouts folder (~/.lyx/layouts on Linux), reconfigure LyX (Tools > Reconfigure), and restart LyX. When you are back in your document, go to Document > Settings... >Modules. select "Customisable Lists (enumitem)" and add it to the selected list of modules, then click OK. Now start your enumeration list the usual way, and when you are read to interrupt it just switch to a standard environment (or any other environment for that matter). When you are ready to resume the list, select Enumerate-Resume rather than Enumerate from the drop-down list of environments. LyX will restart the numbering from 1 in the GUI, but the compiled document will display the correct numbering. /Paul
