Default Heading number resets after save

If you have automatically update styles checked, then that's exactly what it
does and what you appear to be reporting?

Word 2007: After I set numbering value for a numbered heading, this

This appears to be due to "update document styles" enabled in the
loaded template dialog. I absolutely need this functionality.

I am trying to set chapter numbers (and page numbers that include
chapter number i.e. 3-99) for 10 documents that make up a
dissertation and which need to be coherent. (TOC and index)

How can I force the Heading 1 number to keep an assigned value?
