So naive questions from me are:

1. Do I set up outline numbering that both headings and para numbering have to match (i.e., 1st level of para numbering (1.) MUST match Heading 1 (1.)? Or can the outline numbering differ (i.e., 2nd level of para numbering (i.) DIFFER Heading 2 (1.1.)?

2. Do I start with multi-level numbering first (I think the reading shows start with Styles, which may lead to my confusion)?

Apologies for being slow on this one.
