Make sure that you have linked each heading style to a specific outline
level as described at

Converting text without numbered paragraphs to one with a numbered outline
format with Heading1, Heading2, etc I now find that some paragraphs appear
to
be formatted with one of the 8 layouts on the Outline Numbered tab but
other
paragraphs are formatted with a different one of the 8 layouts, but the
arrangement of 8 layout options on the Outline Numbered tab also appears
to
change between the paragraphs.

How do I get one consistent format for my paragraph numbering with
Headings?
