Question Changing numbering in a Heading style

I am revising a document that another company wrote for us and then they went out of business so I am stuck with a fairly complicated mess. It has a Heading 7 that controls all the numbering in the TOC and the footer. I need to change the starting number to 13. This is what shows in the detail box when I click on Modify Style:
Indent:
Left: 0.31"
Hanging: 0.25", Keep with next, Level 7, Numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, … + Start at: 12 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.31" + Indent at: 0.56", Style: Quick Style
Based on: GOM-3
Following style: Normal

All ‘chapter headings’ that show in the TOC are not numbered in the document but have a custom style called GOM-1. The details on that are:
Font: (Default) Arial, 12 pt, Bold, Font color: Custom Color(RGB(31,73,125)), All caps, Left
Line spacing: single, Space
Before: 12 pt
After: 6 pt, Widow/Orphan control, Keep with next, Style: Quick Style
Following style: GOM-3



I have tried numerous ways to change the 12 to a 13 but I'm not having much luck. I have written in before and none of the suggestions worked. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Default

To modify heading numbering, do the following: Place the insertion point in the first level 1 paragraph of the document (meaning the first Heading 1 paragraph in this case). On the Home tab, click Multilevel List, and then click Define New Multilevel List (note that the command label is misleading). In the dialog box, click the More button to see all options. Change the "Start at" value for level 7/Heading 7 as desired, and then click OK. Note that this changes the number for the first level 7 item in the document, and the others will follow. If you are trying to do something else, please post back.
