Sorry: I neglected to give you an example of a skipped level.

1.0 Overview (created by applying a Heading 1 style)
1.1.1 Resources Provided (created by applying a Heading 3 style)

In the example above, there is no Heading 2 between the H1 and the H3.

Ideally, the client would like the H3 to be numbered thusly: 1.0.1

Is that possible? I don't want to set the numbering to start at 0 because
that would mess up the majority of instances in which I did not skip a
heading level.

Maybe there is confusion arising from the gap between your
expectations/desires and Word limits.
I do not understand what you mean by "skipping a level".

In your sample below, you do not skip a level, you just go from 1.0 to 2.1.
That, to me, does not make sense. Where is 2.0 (or 2.)? Is that the skipped
level you mention?

Also, 1.0 cannot be level 1, unless the 0 is hard coded into the level 1
definition. 1.0 must be level 2 (or heading 2).

How did you get Word to display 1.0?

I must be missing something here...

I used heading styles.

Heading 1 gives me something that looks like this: 1.0 Project Description

Heading 2 gives me: 2.1 Master/Vision Planning

Heading 3 gives me: 2.1.1 Purpose

Heading 4 gives me: 2.1.1.1 Healthcare

Indenting and numbering works perfectly, EXCEPT that numbering does not
insert a 0 if I skip a heading level.

Can you show us an example of text with a skipped level?
