Outline Numbering does far more than outline. The headings assigned to outline 
levels are the ones that determine what appears in the Navigator and the 
dialogs for cross-references and Tables of Contents. Best to consider Outline 
Numbering and paragraph and list styles as two separate options for outline 
numbering.
