The document I'm updating contains several heading levels, none of which make sense, but none of which I can change either. For example:
1. HEADING 1
a. Heading 2
(1) Heading 3

I used Word's built-in headings, but modified the paragraph and numbering properties. Was working just fine except for some reason, every time I restart page numbering, for example, with Heading 3, the formatting CHANGES -- forcing me to "manually fix" everything (which of course defeats the purpose of auto-numbering!!!). In particular I have set a .5" hanging indent for the Heading 3 style and it KEEPS switching back to .25." Does anyone know why? This makes no sense to me -- is it a bug?

(Note: In the archives, I found several suggestions for using the SEQ field instead... When I have some time I'm going to play around with this...)

My background FYI: Avid FrameMaker user being forced to update a Word document. Using Frame is not an option unfortunately.

Thanks,
Kathryn
