I am using the auto numbering in my TOC format, and for some reason, the
first heading pulled in to my TOC does not take on the numbered format. If I
manually "touch" the first entry - like put a space in front of it, the
number appears.

Please please please, does anyone know what's going on here - and more
importantly, how to fix it? I'm creating this doc for a client.

How did you "assign" this numbering?

I guess you are pulling headings into your TOC: those headings
themselves are not numbered, but you want to number them in the TOC,
right? [Which, by itself, is rather peculiar.]

It's not so peculiar if you are using two styles in the document:

Chapter One [numbered chapter number style]
Title of First Chapter [unnumbered Heading 1]

I frequently do this; see
