I too am having trouble with my level 3 numbering.

I used Shauna Kelly's article "How to create numbered headings or outline
numbering in your Microsoft Word document", which was incredibly helpful.
Everything was going along smoothly and then the numbering went wonky.

I am formatting a document that someone else created. I went in and set up
styles and have 3 levels of headings.

Heading 1: 1
Heading 2: 1.1
Heading 3: 1.1.1

Everything was fine while Heading 1 was 1. And when I got to 2, the next
heading 2 changed to 2.1 and I thought I was home free. However, heading 3
(which should have been 2.1.1) reverted to 1.5.1 and the next heading 2
(which should have been 2.2) reverted to 1.6. Nothing changed in the heading
style so I cant figure out why the numbering wouldnt continue.

I made sure that none of the automatic update boxes were ticked.

Any suggestions you can give me will be most appreciated.

I use styles and formatting consistently - along with templates. I am having
problems with my level 3 outline numbering in that is continues on
consecutively throughout the document instead of restarting when it's
supposed to. All the other levels restart just fine. I've attempted to fix
the template, to no avail.
