Check the archives. As far as I know (having written 600-page tomes in
Word), there are no urgent fixes for what you see. Even the workarounds
require you re-work the numbering you have done. The autonumbering feature
in Word is (for lack of a better term) challenged when put to the test. It
works fine for word processing, though <grin>.
Good luck.
