For a linguistics article I'm writing, the journal I will submit it to
requires me to use a Word template which they provide - a template which
includes headings of levels 1, 2, 3 etc. of a particular style. They also
require that the headings be numbered as e.g. 3.4.2 (= 2nd sub-section within
the 4th sub-section of section 3), but the headings in their template don't
have those initial numbers attached automatically. I can of course just type
them in, but I want them to re-number automatically if I stuff in a new
section somewhere, and I would also like cross-references to them within the
body of the document to update automatically when new headings are added.
Well, you should tell the journal to hire a professional to take a good
look at their template! :-)
If you want to get it right, you can use the knowledge in the following
articles:

How do I do this? When I try to modify the headings directly, Word tells me
this is forbidden.
Exact message? Though, at that point, you should contact the journal and
ask for their guidance. If they have locked the template's styles and
force you to use it, they have to support it if it conflicts with their
written specifications!
