You would want your topic numbering to be level 2.
If using list numbering, each level must be attached to a different paragraph style.

I did as the article suggested and it works great!
The only challenge I encountered was that once I removed my custom paragraph styles from being based on the original heading styles, they disappeared from the navigation pane.
A quick google search came up with the root cause that their outline level was set back to the default and all I had to do was manually change the outline level back to 1 and 2 respectively, and all is good!
Live and learn...Glad to have helped.

Hi Charles_Kenyon and all readers of this thread.
I've encountered another challenge that I was unable to solve with the help of BinGoogle.
Now that I have my custom styles and numbering lists all set up and working, I need to find a way to be able to create in-document hyperlinks to these new paragraph styles.
When I use the "insert hyperlink" window and click "place in this document", only the original headings are shown, and the bookmarks list is empty.
Is there a style setting that will tell word to automatically add my custom headings to the available heading list for link insertion, or alternatively automatically create a bookmark for every instance of my custom styles?
Thanks for your help and have a great day!
