I've created a Word template that incorporates a style that's formatted as
hidden text. The problem is that, when the hidden text is toggled off and my
users try to type something on the following line (which I assigned an
outline numbered style that's not hidden), the hidden text toggles on and the
cursor is positioned at the beginning of the hidden text, not on the line
that the user started typing on.

If the hidden text is already on, there is no problem. The line that the
user starts typing on applies the appropriate style.

Does anyone know how I can get the style to apply properly if the hidden
text is hidden?

If you need to work with hidden text, you probably have to keep it
visible. Alternatively, you can add frame formatting to the style and
locate it in the margin; that way, it definitely won't interfere with
the text.

More importantly, what is the hidden text used for? There might be a
better way to include it with the document (a custom document
property, for example).
