Thanks Pamelia, here's an update.
First, I am using a different authoring tool, which publishes content to
Word. So, I go into Word and set up the template ahead of time, so when the
content is published to Word, it has the format I need.
In the Word template, I have verified the following:
Heading 1 is set to outline level 1.
Heading 2 is set to outline level 2.
Heading 3 is set to outline level 3.
So, I went into the List Number style, and set the paragraph properties to
outline level 4.
Then, I went back into my authoring tool, and published the content into
Word, using the updated Word template.
None of the numbered lists restart at 1. All List Number styles
automatically continue the numbering from the previous list, even though
separated by many heading 2 and heading 3 styles.
I went into the List Number properties and verified that it does, indeed,
indicate the paragraph is set to be outline level 4.
I think I am going to try Klaus' macro idea.
By the way, what would be the real world purpose for numbered lists that are
separated by several headings to continue from the previous list? Why would
this be the default configuration for numbered lists in Word?

Stefan must be off line. So I'll try to help. Your regular text numbered
items must be set up in the same numbering list as your headings. After you
have linked the headings to numbering levels, you must have enough numbering
levels left for linking them to your regular text numbered item styles. If
your numbered items are 1, a, and i, you need three levels free.
You can create your own numbered item styles or use Word's built-in styles
such as list number, list number 2, etc. If you set the first numbered item
style to restart after the lowest heading level, it will restart after that
one and any heading above it.

Hi Stefan:
I thought Word would interpret the Heading 1 and Heading 2 that separates
the numbered lists as the multilevel separators. What do I need to do in
order to let Word know it can restart numbered lists after a Heading 1 or
Heading 2?
Thanks!
In Word, the safest way to restart numbering is to make it part of a
multilevel list, having higher levels restart lower ones.
