If you have set the hidden attribute for the heading number, so that it doesn't show up in the document, you can set "Follow number with" to "Nothing" in the Multilevel List dialog box. That may do what you want.

    Hi Stefan

    Thank you for your response. The heading styles are not hidden, but the dummy text is.
    When I change "Follow number with" from tab character to nothing, I lose the alignment of the heading text, and it has messed with the hidden text as well. It also did not solve the vertical alignment issue between the number and heading text when the dummy text was hidden.

    I have attached more screenshots following the change.

      I apologize: I misunderstood your question. Just change back the indentation for the multilevel list levels to the appropriate values for your list.
