Default Number format field

In the Format, Styles and Formatting, Format Numbering, Outline tab,
Customize dialog box the Number format field contains the proposed format.
In this case, "1.1.1"

The "ones" in the format are shaded, I assume this means they are fields or
macros or something. Is there a place where I can look at the code behind
the numbers? I'm trying to figure out which ones to delete or move around.

Default Number format field

Theoretically, the first one would be the Level 1 number, the second one
Level 2, and the third Level 3, the current level, but sometimes they can
get mixed up. When that happens, the easiest thing is to delete them all and
start from scratch. But if you're trying to edit outline numbering starting
with Level 3, you're riding for a fall. See
