List Numbering Set Numbering Value shows missing numbers as hidden text

This is not something I've dabbled with before but I am getting the same behaviour as you in Word 2013 and don't know if it was different in earlier versions.

In any case, perhaps you need to use a macro to create a new ListTemplate each time you need to jump.

Code:

Sub Macro3()
  Dim aLT As ListTemplate
  Set aLT = ActiveDocument.ListTemplates.Add(OutlineNumbered:=True)
  With aLT.ListLevels(1)
    .NumberFormat = "%1."
    .TrailingCharacter = wdTrailingTab
    .NumberStyle = wdListNumberStyleArabic
    .NumberPosition = CentimetersToPoints(0)
    .Alignment = wdListLevelAlignLeft
    .TextPosition = CentimetersToPoints(1)
    .TabPosition = CentimetersToPoints(1)
    .ResetOnHigher = 0
    .StartAt = InputBox("Start where?", "Re-Start Me Up", 9)
    .LinkedStyle = ""
  End With
  Selection.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplateWithLevel ListTemplate:=aLT, _
      ContinuePreviousList:=False, ApplyTo:=wdListApplyToThisPointForward, _
      DefaultListBehavior:=wdWord10ListBehavior
End Sub

Once you have done this to a list, if you want to add a second break, press Ctrl-Q to reset the paragraph(s) and then run the macro again.
