Outline Numbering and Tab

I am having a most annoying problem.  In Word 2000 I can set up OL
numbering in the desired format.  When I press Enter I go to the next
numbered level corresponding with the level I just completed.  To indent
further and go to a lower heading/numbering level I press tab and bingo,
what might have been IV is now, say, A, B. C etc.  (I am reluctant to go
through her recommended procedure for OL numbering since I already use
Heading styles for ordinary, well, headings--free of any numbering, and I'd
sort of like to keep it that way).  Same thing with Word 2003.

Here is the problem:  In Word 2002, the tab works differently--at least when
accessed through Microsoft's Terminal Server.  When I press tab at the next
level I get an indent alright, but no change in the numbering!

I ought to get this when I press Enter and then Tab at the end of Section
II:

   I.  Blah Blah
   II. Blah Blah
       A.  Blah Blah

But I get this instead:

   I.  Blah Blah
   II. Blah Blah
   III.      Blah Blah

I can't see any difference in the OL numbering settings between
Word 2000 and 2002  Is it me?  Am I missing something?  Or is it the revenge
of that demon Outline Numbering?

(I read Ms. Kelly's fine article on the perils of Outline Numbering.  I have
never run into many problems, but then again, I have used Outline numbering
only for simple rough outlines for other things, nothing too involved. )
(This message was originally posted in the word.documentmanagement board but
I was referred to the more enlightened crowd here!)

Make sure the following option is enabled:

Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoFormat As You Type: "Set first and
left indent with tabs and backspaces."
