Welcome to the forum.
You don't say whether you are using RH for Word or RH HTML.
Both are different editors that work in a different way. A hunch
tells me it is RH HTML.
Outline numbering is a concept not recognised within the
overal project so when you move topics, you have this problem. I
don't think I have seen any neat solutions posted.
I am not sure if RH for Word provides any better options so
perhaps someone else can chip in on that.
