Re: Heading styles and TOCs

How about doing it the other way around, if it is only the (real) headings
that need to restart? That is, use Heading 1 for real headings, and a
"Heading 1 +" style for the paragraphs. So long as you don't touch the
numbering on the paragraphs, they will stay put - but any application of the
numbering (as in a restart) will apply the linked style.

Alternatively, this might just be the place for a list style. Us old Wordies
don't use or like them for a number of reasons, but this is apparently the
application they are designed for <g>. Use the separate Heading and
paragraph styles for the formatting and correct automatic TOC extraction,
and apply an outline numbered list style for the numbering. You can then
restart the numbering or change levels without any effect on the paragraph
style.
