In the "Top Sellers" section, continue the numbering of the list at the top of the second column, so the list items are numbered from 1 through 6.

Question

Explanation

This simulation question tests your ability to continue a numbered list across a column break in a word processing document (most likely Microsoft Word), ensuring list items in the second column resume numbering from where the first column left off.

Approach. To continue numbering correctly, right-click the first list item in the second column and select 'Continue Numbering' from the context menu - this tells Word to treat the items as part of the same list sequence rather than starting a new list at 1. Alternatively, right-click and choose 'Set Numbering Value,' then manually enter the correct starting number so the combined list runs 1 through 6. The key insight is that a column break can cause Word to restart numbering automatically, so you must explicitly override that behavior. The result should be a seamless single numbered list where the first column holds some items and the second column picks up the count without restarting.

Concept tested. Continuing or setting numbered list values across column breaks in Microsoft Word (MOS Word exam objective: formatting lists with 'Continue Numbering' or 'Set Numbering Value')
