Default Changing numbering in styles affects other styles (Word 03)

I have seven custom, numbered styles that are all based on the native
Heading 1,2,3 styles. I am trying to change the numbering indents in
these custom styles. When I change the 5th style, it affects the
numbering indents of the 3rd and 4th styles before it (they become
deeply indented by, say, 1 inches, though at one point it indented
them by several inches). I am making these changes via Numbering.
Nowhere can I locate any sort of connection between the 5th style and
the two prior.

Also, via Numbering, I have set these styles up to re-start numbering
after some prior style. This is not working: If I have a bunch of
Style4 paragraphs numbered, say, A through G, then several @ Style5,
then, back in Style4, the renumbering will suddenly jump to AA. I
cannot "Continue Numbering."

Thanks for any assistance...

MORE INFO --

In addition to messing up the prior styles' indents, Word is not
applying the WRONG NUMBERING. For example, Word has applied the Style2
numbering to all instances of Style3.

This doc came to me nicely set up with native Word Heading styles.
What should have been a 10 minute search & replace + indent tweak has
taken me nearly 2 hours, and I STILL don't have the doc formatted
correctly. XOXO to MS...

You need to make all the indent changes in the Numbering dialog going into
Modify Style through Heading 1. See
