Hi ?B?U3VzaG1pdGE=?=,

i have a custom template for an entire document. however, on applying
numbering styles for levels 2 and 3 the numbering does not restart. it
continues from the previous numbering even after section breaks in the
document.

Words auto-numbering facility has no functionality that will get it to
restart when sections change (page numbering, yes, but not "paragraph"
numbering).

If you want level 2 to change after a level 1 paragraph has been used,
then you need to go into the "Customize" dialog box for your list format,
click "More", select level 2, then set it to restart after level 1.

do the same for level 3, to restart it after level 2 has been used.

As Cindy says, numbering doesn't restart at a section break. You need to set
up outline numbering according to
