Skipping a number in points and numbering

[Grontan]

Hi, im making a list using points and numbering but i wish to skip a number.
f.ex. if im making a list 1 through 10 and i wish to skip the number 4 so that it looks like 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10.
Is there anyway to do this? if i just delete the number 4 all the other numbers afther that are automatically changed so that number 5 now becomes 4

Would appreciate any help

Use two different numbering styles. Set the first style to start at "1" and apply that style to the first three items. Set the second style to start at "5" and apply that style to the rest of the list.
