Create a numbered *paragraph style*; it can then be selected in the Table of
Contents Options dialog box. Or, even better, associate the built-in
headings (Heading 1-9) with an outline-numbered list. Note that the exact
steps to accomplish this depends on your version of Word. For Word 97-2003,
the following link is useful:
