WORD 2003, want to copy and paste my table with bullets

[CalvinHobbes]

I have some tables in Word that use bullets in some rows but restart the numbering in each cell group. For example:
----------------------------------
1. Item A
2. Item B
----------------------------------
1. Item C
2. Item D
----------------------------------
Item E
----------------------------------
1. Item F
2. Item G
3. Item H
----------------------------------

When I cut in past this into another empty table, the bullet numbering continues for each section. So all the "1., 2."would increment to the next number (i.e. 3., 4.). I have to go into each cell and renumber the bullets. Is there any way to get Word to copy what I have an not touch the bullets when I paste it?
