Outline Numbering Starts at 0

[Guest]

I've followed Shauna Kelly instructions at:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html

but my chapter numbering is starting at zero. When I look at the formating
using the Styles and Formating>Modify>Format>Numbering it says it starting at
1

but if I go to the toolbar and look at Format>Bullets and Numbering>Outlined
Numbering>Customize I see that the numbering starts at zero. According to
Shauna's instructions, I'm not suppose to make any changes here.

I must be overlooking something...but what?

Thanks

I forgot to add that I'm using master and subdocuments. I just found that
when I look at the subdocument the numbering is okay, but it's incorrect in
the master document. I am making all my changes through the master
document...hope this helps with anyone who may know the source of the problem.

I believe you must carefully ensure that there are no conflicting settings
in master documents and subdocuments.

Also, note that master documents tend to corrupt. See
