Default Show outline hierarchy on every line

We print long tech spec documents using outlining. Many sections are several
pages long, so on any page you might see only a few "sections":

x) .........
(1) ........
(2) ........
xi) ........
(1) .......
(2) .......

....etc. It can be impossible to know which major section you're in without a
lot of page flipping (section x and xi above can contain many lines each).
What I would like to see is this:

7) d) x) ........
7) d) x) (1) .......
7) d) x) (2) .......
7) d) xi) (1) .......
7) d) xi) (2) .......

....and so on. Can this be done either natively in Word (2003), or with the
use of a macro or other add-on? It must be automatic, or at least not making
me type this stuff in (what a maintenance headache that'd be!)

Thanks very much.
