Hi Robert,
Thanks for helping out.
The two news styles will be based on Heading 2 but have a number of
significant modifications, such as no tabs, centered, etc.
I believe I have a resolution for this, or at least more information that
would help others in the future. Originally, I found that creating the two
new styles based on Heading 2 works fine, with no modifications to the two
new styles. I then found that all but one change allows both the two new
styles and Heading 2 to impact each other. (Some more background, our
Heading 2 was modified to included outline numbering...this is a huge deal I
found out).
So, now I have Heading 2 with outline numbering and two new styles based off
of Heading 2 including the outline numbering, and a few other modifications:
- no tabs
- centered
- kerning at 14pt
- 6pt before spacing
As soon as I modify with the two new styles to be aligned at .1" (via
Bullets and NumberingCustomizeNumber PositionAligned at
the numbering
for Heading 2 no longer shows in the document.
From what I have read online, this is a Word bug. Numbering Lists & Outline
Numbering built into styles causes a conflict with the parent style and the
style 'pulling' from the parent style.

Can elaborate more what this means exactly (and _why_ you need two more
styles to act in the same way as H2)?
I feel like, if you really want those two styles to be part of the same
outline as your H1 and H1, you might have to resort to field-based
numbering. But I cannot be certain unless you give more details.
