Im trying to format a word notebook document using very specific levels for my outline structure. The levels are I. A. 1. etc. and i have customized one to my needs in the bullet and numbering folder.

The problem is every time i tab, or demote to create another level (for instance i have typed my "I. Heading" press enter and tab because i want to create "A. text", it automatically reverts me to the default bullet style numbering, which i must change back using the formatting pallet.

Is there anyway i can promote and demote headings freely within my desired format without having to use the formatting pallet to change it back to my format.
