Make sure that "Automatically update document styles" is cleared in
ToolsTemplates and Add-Ins. Also, make sure that you apply numbering
via a style. You can use a style from the List Number series: Hold
SHIFT as you click the arrow next to the Style box on the Formatting
toolbar and locate the List Number style. Click it to apply it to
text. Use the Modify Style dialog box to change numbering formatting
and indents, if required.

When I create a numbered list (roman numeral or regular numbers) and
then
save my work, the display temporarily changes all roman numbers to
IV. Then
when I scroll so this text is off screen and return to it, they are
correct.

I assume Word has saved my work correctly, but this is disconcerting
to see
on screen.
