I agree. Zeroing lists with Body tags and some lists on each chapter or header
tag is something I highly recommend. My Numbering format for Body tags often
look something like this: N:< =0>< =0>< =0>
Then, I can have simple formats for Numbered, Numbered-A, Numbered-a, etc.
There is nothing I hate more than a template required by a client that has a
bunch of Numbered-1, Numbered; Numbered-A-1, Numbered-A, etc. formats. It just
makes the document harder to maintain.

You can define the autonumber format of the preceding paragraph format to reset
the numbering. In your case, like this:
B:< =0>
You could define your standard body text format to reset the numbering, or
maybe some/all heading formats. It depends on your template design, how this
numbering series is used, and whether you have other numbering series. In the
online help or manual, look up autonumbering, and in particular using counters,
for more information.
With a bit of careful thought, you can have multiple numbered lists that are
all automatically restarted when appropriate without needing special paragraph
formats to restart the numbering.
