Why does auto numbering skip numbers?

I'm adding paragraph headers to an already existing Word 2003 document. When
using auto numbering, the header 2 numbers are skipping odd numbers. ie 1.2,
1.4, 1.6.
How can I correct this?
 
You probably have some additional Heading 2s "hidden" in some way in your
document. My first suspect would be tracked changes - a "deleted" heading
matching each "inserted" one.

Make sure your view options are set to show hidden text, non-printing
characters and revisions, and then use Find to look for Heading 2 style.
