Have you linked each style to its outline level as described in
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...umbering.html?

The numbering NG is available from

FWIW, I'm using Word2003.

I notice various posts in ms.public.word.numbering about
this, largely saying it can't be done without the likes of
VBA, though those wereWRT Word 2002.

Why isn't that ng availabile from the
communities.microsoft.com newsgroup system?

Hello,

I have a word document that has custom styles defined, each
for their own outline level.

It all works fine, except for one aspect: trying to alter
the level number in outline mode using Alt-Shift-Left/Right
correctly changes the level number, but it doesn't change
the style.
