i have a document that contains an outline list, that uses Heading styles,
and is used to generate the TOC.

Level 1, 2, 3 are all fine. so:
1 Major Subject 1
1.1 Sub Major Subect 1
1.2 Sub Major Subject 2
2 Major Subject 2
2.1 Sub Major Subect 1
2.2 Sub Major Subject 2
2.3.1 Sub Sub Major Subject
2.3.2 Sub Sub Major Subect
1.2.3.1 Sub Sub Sub Major subject

for some reason the numbering breaks. i've been thru the formatting of the
styles, formatting of the number/outline. i would like to be able to go into
the "Customize Outline Numberd List" window and fix it in the "Number Format"
box, but i can't fix the auto/generated numbers in the numbering sequence.
so when i look at the number format the above window, it says "1.2.3.1"

any ideas?
