Highlight the text you want this numbering to apply to.
Select the text format drop down (on left of font) and pick more, the 
styles dialogue opens.
Select list styles from the icons. You can make a new style or say 
double click Numbering 5. Right click numbering 5 and modify. Under 
outline tab I think you want lower left, select it.
Under options tab select each level on the left and change the "Start 
at" back to 1.
Select OK.

Select each block of text to lower 1 level, as all will be at the top 
level, and with the pop up bullets and numbering tool select the "Demote 
1 level with subpoints".

Demote the text to the required subpoint as needed.

Confusing, don't know why the subpoints don't start numbering from 1.
