How to write chapters separately with corresponding heading numbering

Thanks, everyone.

So, tell it to start numbering at 5.

Rather than start yours at 5, my recommendation would be for all of those contributing to start with the same template that includes the numbered styles. That way, when they are combined, they will work well together.
