Since you need to insert only one extra paragraph, and that too only occasionally, you can insert a blank paragraph above the newly inserted paragraph and restart numbering.
Of course, this will not work if you have more than one autonumbering list above the new paragraph. Otherwise it should do the trick. If I have not understood the problem, please clarify.

I am using a .DOTX (Word 2007 Template). It is a complete document with bookmarked locations throughout it.
There are already Numbered paragraphs (like bullets but numbers). The numbered paras separate from the text paragraphs, like this:
START SAMPLE:
I
This is the first paragraph.
II
This is the second paragraph.
Now this could be the third paragraph but in may not be numbered.
III
Then another paragraph.
END SAMPLE
Now everything is properly spaced in the real document. The numbers are autonumbered, so if I remove one, the others automatically change, appropriately.
I think it will be easier to add numbers to particular bookmarks to look like it is properly numbered , rather than trying to get .range.applydefaultnumber to change the numbers.
I have tried so many combos but either a paragraph gets a new number added to it, and then inserts a new paragraph with the next number or some other unexpected outcome.
And, there is really only one paragraph that would need the number added. If someone wants a special distribution on their will, the program adds that paragraph. Normally they don't, so it doesn't add that paragraph.
Have I made this any more clear?
