Thanks, Ulo.

I assume you mean just a paragraph style with the formatting I want for the Level 1 heading, but not linked to the built-in Heading 1 style? Then I thnk I'm going to have the same problem -- my level 2 headings won't increment their number when I start a new section.

It looks as if I can't have two list styles linked to the built-in Heading styles. Is that correct?

If I were doing this for myself, I'd just set the numbering value manually...and grumble about it, probably! But this template will be used extensively and I hate to leave the numbering to the vagaries of novices. (And I won't be around to troubleshoot, either.)

I'm beginning to think this isn't possible...
