I'm not much of an expert, but I suspect that's not how outline
numbering is intended to be used. I think it's more like for chapters
in a text book, where you wouldn't have a Chapter 3 followed by
Chapter 3.x.1 without having a Chapter 3.1 in between. The outline
numbering can then be used to create the table of contents (which
wouldn't usually include your "Normal text" paragraphs).
I think list styles should do what you want for the "normal text"
sections. Use the Heading X styles and outline numbering for your
headings, and create a list style for applying the A, i numbering to
your normal text. On the list style settings, look into the Outline
tab, which has preset styles for multi-level lists, pick one which is
close to what you want and then tweak it on the Options tab.
I tried list styles, which gave me bullets. I then tried numbering
styles for my normal text, and then selected an appropriate outline
list from the drop down box. But, then I got the following results:
1 Heading 1
1. Text
a. Text
i. Text
A. Text
2 Heading 1
2. Text
3. Text
2.1 Heading 2
4. Text
5. Text
As you can see, my normal text doesn't start over in numbering after
the headings. I think the reason for this is that it is not in the
same outline hierarchy as the headings outline. When I checked online
for bug reports on outline numbering, I found that many were
complaining that the Numbering styles just keep going up in value even
with intervening text between the lists. That's what I found here. I
couldn't see any setting that would allow me to tell the numbering to
start over after each heading, which is what one would want in an
outline.
I found if you right click on the TXT numbering and restart numbering I
could get numbered lists inside my outline numbering. I do this in my
manuals where outline numbering is for chapters and the lists are for
step by step procedures.

This is why I originally set up my outline in one 10 level list with
both heading and normal levels in the same hierarchy. And, until
recently, it seemed to work for me.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep playing with it.
