Default Outline Numbering

It is all to easy to get the fields turned around. I recently found this way
to help keep things straight:
Temporarily set the start at value for each level to the level value (level
2 starts at 2, etc.). When you insert the previous levels, you'll
immediately see that the order is correct. Be sure to set the start at's
back to 1 before you exit the dialog.

When numbers get reversed this way, the best solution is to start over, but
you're doing it backward. Insert the previous levels, one at a time, in
order, inserting the punctuation yourself by hand. The last number is the
one for the current level, and that's the one for which you choose the
number style (1,2,3); you don't have to choose the number style for the
previous levels because Word automatically uses the style used for that
level (unless you check the "Legal style numbering" box to convert from
roman to arabic numerals).

I'm trying to outline number a report and have followed the guidance on
Shauna Kelly's page. However, my numbering is back to front - so it goes:

Help please!
