Usually I can work through my number problems, but this one has me stumped.
I made some new styles, based on my Body Text style, to use on a new outline
list. Then I made the new outline list and assigned the four new styles to
levels 1-4. As soon as I accepted the change, Word took the style I had
associated with level one and moved it to level 8. I went back and changed
it back to level one, Word made it level 8 again. I assigned a different
style to level 8 and put my style back at 1. Word ignored this and kept my
intended level 1 style at level 8.

That was this morning.

Since then I have made a new normal template and tried the whole thing over.
Same results.

Any ideas?  Thanks.
