The problem will disappear when Outlining (like in M$Word since Word 7)
is implemented. It is already a request that is 7 years old, but a
stillbirth.

The outline numbering you are using now is a sad alternative to real
outlining (and do not come with the Navigator as outliner!). See the
long discussions in the feature request since Apr 10 19:39:00 2002. This
is the only reason that many who need to write extensive outlined
documents still remain with M$Word (with Wine on CrossOver Office). I
became an older MacBook recently, and there are some software packages
for outlining on Mac as well, but no outlining is available for Mac on
OOo or NeoOffice (OOo branch for Mac) either.
