Word list numbering changes on save. Why ?

When I create a numbered list (roman numeral or regular numbers) and then
save my work, the display temporarily changes all roman numbers to IV. Then
when I scroll so this text is off screen and return to it, they are correct.

I assume Word has saved my work correctly, but this is disconcerting to see
on screen.
 
Make sure that "Automatically update document styles" is cleared in
Tools>Templates and Add-Ins. Also, make sure that you apply numbering
via a style. You can use a style from the List Number series: Hold
SHIFT as you click the arrow next to the Style box on the Formatting
toolbar and locate the List Number style. Click it to apply it to
text. Use the Modify Style dialog box to change numbering formatting
and indents, if required.
