You need to make your lettered paragraph style part of the same numbering
scheme as the outline headings, using a level below the lowest numbered
heading (which I would hope is no more than 4 numbers deep!). To do this you
must link the numbering level to the paragraph style by working from the
*top level* style, not from your lettered paragraph style.

For full instructions on setting up outline numbering see:

For more information about restarting numbering automatically after
higher-level styles see:

I have a set of outline numbered heading styles defined (1.1, 1.1.1,
1.1.1.1
etc) and a style defined for the main body text which letters paragraphs
a,
b, c etc. How do I make the lettering restart at "a" after any numbered
heading - currently the lettering just continues the previous list unless
I
manually select "restart numbering" each time.
