Default Heading 4 Doesn't Know It's a Child of Heading 3

Make sure that all your headings are part of the same list. Heed Shauna's
warning (http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html)
always to modify lower-level styles by going in through Heading 1.

Alas, when I tried that, I found that everything was already set in
exactly
the way you described. I went through the drill anyway, just clicking
Okay,
then again clicking Okay with both of the level 4 headings selected and
with
'Automatically update' checked. To no avail. The headings still read
1.1.1.1
and 1.1.1.2, not 9.3.3.1 and 9.3.3.2 as they should. So perhaps, as you
suggest, all else is not correct. What else might it be?

Modify Heading 4, Numbering, Customise, More. Link Level to Syle -
Heading 4,
Restart numbering after - Level 3.
That should do it, if all else is correct.
Hope this helps

Hello. I'm writing a document with lots of headings, numbered in the
style
1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1, etc. Down through level 3 my headings are all
working
properly, but I have now reached the level of detail where I require a
level
4. I modified the existing level 4 to have the right font and number
properties; however, when I place that section in its appropriate
position,
it comes out simply as 1.1.1.1, and the next heading below that comes
out as
1.1.1.2. But they are sub-headings to 9.3.3, so they should be numbered
as
9.3.3.1 and 9.3.3.2. How to I tell them who their parent heading is?

Thanks for your help,
