I cannot imagine any explanation for what you're seeing if the numbering

"If you apply the 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 numbering to the built-in heading styles,
then the heading styles will be numbered as you prefer (including indents)."

Sigh. What I kept asking was what these "defaults" were, what a "properly
linked" level looked like, what the values for the default "built-in heading
styles" might be set to. And I inquired if there was a place, a FAQ, where I
could do a run-down of the settings to figure out if some value or setting
was off. Given that I am simply a writer who is used to OfficeXP and
earlier, I don't know what I am looking for, nor what the setting should look
like.

So looking to suggestion elsewhere, I finally determined that the 'link
level to style' in the 'define new multilevel list' dialog should not have
been set to '(no style)'. I don't mean to impugn anyone trying to help, but
that was in an earlier post. In the 'define new multilevel list' dialog,
when I manually reset the 'level 2' setting of 'link level to style' dialog
to 'heading2' and so on down the line, the outline began to work.

Now I have to figure out how to change the default. That is, when I went to
another 'multi-level' numbering list style, I found that all of *its* 'link
level to style' values were set to ''(no style)' and that when I went back to
the old 1/1.1/1.1.1 numbering style in a new document, it had its multilevel
list link values reset to, you guessed it, '(no style).' If I invoke, say,
1/a/i/1/a/i, a numbering style I don't remember using lately, the values in
the 'define new multi-level list' dialog for level 2 are currently to, but of
course, '(no style)'.
