--- Comment #8 from J. Kanowitz <[email protected]> ---
To document a simpler but related case in legal documents, consider the
following as may be used in a US District Court pleading where all paragraphs
must be consecutively numbered:

  1.  Introductory paragraph.
  2.  Introductory paragraph.
A. FIRST SECTION HEADING
  3.  Paragraph in first section.
  4.  Paragraph in first section.
         Specially formatted, un-numbered blockquote citation.
         Specially formatted, un-numbered blockquote citation.
  5.  Paragraph in first section.
B. NEXT SECTION HEADING
  6.  Paragraph in next section.

Conceptually, headings belong at a 'higher' level than the body text
paragraphs, but I couldn't trick Tools->Outline Numbering in 4.1.2.3 to:
- Allow "A." to occur in the 1st level when 2nd level paragraphs already
existed;
- Give consecutive numbering in the 2nd level only;
- Avoid prepending the numbering divider "." to paragraphs of 1st or 2nd
outline style when numbering is turned off (as one might do to quickly
direct-format blockquotes without defining a new style).

This can be worked around by using a "Paragraphs" list and a "Headings" list,
but that loses rapid raise/demote and incurs some annoyance-grade chicken and
egg problems (make a heading a member of the Headings list - then apply Heading
1 format - now go back and make it a member of the list again because numbering
got turned off).

Use of capital letters for headings in the example is arbitrary, could be Roman
or anything else.
