I forgot to mention that:
- I apply the default Heading 1, Heading 2, etc., styles to my chapter titles.
- I create a Section Break (Next Page) at the end of each chapter.
It has worked fine for decades.

These text are tutorials for using the numbered paragraphs and the headings. I started using Word in the early 90's. I gave training courses too. I know all that by heart.
They don't tell how to troubleshoot an erratic numbering.
I tried many tricks including applying to the titles a default style and then reapplying the Heading style, to no avail. I also deleted the Section Breack.

They do look the way I want. This is not the issue. What I want is a consistent numbering of the headings.
I tried to insert an image but one can't import an image from one's computer and somehow it doesn't take Flickr URL. Here is the URL:
Numbering Issues. Because of the confidential nature of the document i changed the chapter titles. For some reason the last chapter that was numbered 1 is now numbered 20.
The issue is how to tell the last 3 chapters to follow the numbers.

Nick
