Default Difficulties with numbered headings

Win2000:Word2000



I am a simple person, with simple desires. I want the headings in
a book to look like the following. This is a different book and
arrangement then that discussed in an earlier thread several days
ago. I have followed Shauna Kelly's "How to create heading
numbering and outline numbering in Microsoft Word" To test the
formatting, I created a document containing only the lines shown
below and formatted the styles as described. I went through this
exercise twice with the same results.



Introduction

Part I: Menus

Chapter 1: Menu One

Chapter 2: Menu Two

Part II: Wizards

Chapter 3: Wizard One

Chapter 4: Wizard Two

Part III Appendices

Appendix A - Installation

Appendix B - Variables



Part, Chapter and Appendix are numbered headings as I understand
the term. There are un-numbered heading styles in both the
Chapters and Appendixes. The numbering is simple, in that there
is no requirement for paragraphs 2-3 or 4.1.3 or such.



Heading 1 is Chapter, at level 1, numbered in Arabic

Heading 2 is Part, at level 2, numbered in Roman

Heading 3 is Appendix, at level 3, numbered A, B, .

Headings 4-6 are additional chapter sub-heading styles, not
numbered

Headings 7-8 are additional appendix sub-heading styles, not
numbered

Heading 9 is for the Introduction, not numbered



The Chapter style insists on beginning with 2. The next two begin
with II and B, notwithstanding that in the lower right box in the
Numbering window they show 1, I and A. In the Customize Outline
Numbered List panel, the Number Format for level 1 is "Chapter 1:
". Levels 2 and 3 are similar. In the Preview window, all the
levels show as I would expect them to. Legal style numbering is
not checked and Restart numbering is not checked for any level.
The ListNum is named Book1.



The numbering difficulty may stem from my not understanding the
role of level. The docs say



Assign an outline level to a paragraph
Use outline levels when you don't want to change the appearance
of your text (the built-in heading styles apply specific
formatting, while the outline levels apply an "invisible"
format).

Am I a victim of invisible formatting or should I be restarting
something?
