Should the numbered paragraphs and the headings be numbered separately?
In that case, it would certainly be a good idea to use different styles
for them.

Alternatively, if you feel you must use the same style for headings and
body text paragraphs, you'll have to use TC fields to add items to a
TOC.

To get control over numbering in such a case, I think you would be
better off removing the numbering from the style and use Seq fields to
apply it.

Seq fields give you full control over numbering. Each sequence is a
separate single-level list; you create additional sequences by giving it
a different name from an existing one. You can also restart numbering as
desired (within a sequence), either explicitly or after a specified
heading level.

The drawback is that Seq fields do not update automatically. You have to
select the document and press F9 for a manual update. Alternatively,
print or print preview, which should trigger an update of Seq fields
(this definitely happens if you select the "Update fields" option on the
Print tab of ToolsOptions).

The syntax of a Seq field is: { SEQ sequencename }. Note that you add
the braces by pressing Ctrl+F9; then type the code, specifying something
useful for sequencename. To create restarts and format numbers, add
switches. For more, see Word help.

No, the problem is that the numbered headings are Heading1 and the
numbered paragraphs are also heading 1.
