Good questions, Dan. Those are not options because I want to provide a template and practices that are easy for people to apply just by using the Word GUI.
I don't know that it matters. That's why I ask. Will viewing outline numbering somehow be less worthy if I use outline numbering for numbered lists as well as headings? Are there any drawbacks to using outline numbering to define the five List Number styles? Because, that's the path I am prolly taking.

These fields are generally considered to be "best practices." Why does it matter if the styles are used for procedures and not headings? The style definition doesn't care.
