I believe this is the same text from the tip for earlier versions (2003 and earlier), which I could not get to work for 2007, since I saw no "Continue Numbering" option. What did work easily for me was to just continue numbering, including the not-to-be numbered paragraph, then just go back later and click on the not-to-be-numbered, then click on the ribbon's "Numbering" button to toggle it off for that paragraph.
Got a version of Word that uses the ribbon interface (Word 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the menu interface.
