The trick with getting Word list numbering to work reliably - without
playing games with macros or SEQ fields - is to set up your styles all
in
one go, and all in one gallery position, then stick to it.  If you can
avoid
changing ANY aspect of any of the styles in the document, they will work
fine, but if you re-save any numbered style, Word will attach all the
numbers from that point forward to a new gallery position, hence numbers
going all over the place.

Full instructions here.

"ListGalleries" is the place to start - it will link to the templates.
Use the help to get all the options.

Here is a snippet of code that sets up the first heading level using
list template #3 (picked at random), and stores it in the outline number
gallery (with a hanging indent) - I do something similar for all 9
levels.

This was generated many years ago (try recording a macro to set the list
format). It still works in Office 2007, but there are new features that
I haven't tested yet.

Cheers,
Margaret

While we're on this subject again, let me raise something I've long
wondered 
about. Word has internal things called list templates, and apparently
these 
are the things that can cause the trouble. Does anyone know the VBA
commands 
used to search for, display and generally manipulate list templates?
