Outline numbering doesn't restart properly

Thank you, but this is not a multi-level list. They are paragraph headings,
modified from the original Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. styles. I want
outline-style section headiings, and I want them to show up in the TOC in
this manner. I cannot find any way to cause the numbering to restart in the
Modify Style dialog box, or in any of the Format options available through
that dialog box.

I'm not sure how you can say this isn't a multilevel list. You have
paragraphs you want numbered 1, 2, 3 (Level 1) and 1.1,1.2,2.1, 2.2 (Level
2). What can that possibly be other than a multilevel list? You must apply
the numbering as a multilevel list (outline-numbered list in earlier
versions) for it to work. The numbers can either precede the paragraph text
(if "Section" isn't part of it) or follow the word "Section," if it is. (You
can't have auto numbering in both places.) If the numbering is applied to
the styles in the document, then it will also be applied to the TOC entries
representing those paragraphs/headings. Did you look at the referenced
article?

Yes, I did read the article. I followed it closely. I get:
1. Section 1
1.1 Section 1.1
1.1 Section 1.2
2. Section 2
2.1 Section 2.1
2.1 Section 2.2, etc.

I want 1.1, 1.2, etc. How do I get the second number to increment?

Well, the sort of numbering you're attempting is bizarre. As I stated, you
can have the autonumber only once. You could add SEQ or LISTNUM fields to
provide the other sequence, but it wouldn't be as automatic. What is the
purpose of numbering each section twice?

I'm not numbering each section twice. I want
1. <section 1 title>
1.1 <section 1.1 title>
1.2 <section 1.2 title> NOT 1.1 again
....
2. <section 2 title>
2.1 <section 2.1 title>
2.2 <section 2.2 title> NOT 2.1 again
....
Nothing here is numbered twice. It is the output from word below that has
section 1.1 followed by section 1.1 again. I want section 1.1 to be followed
by section 1.2, not 1.1.

Okay, this is what I was trying to winkle out. So the paragraph numbered 1
doesn't really include the text "Section 1," and the one numbered 1.1 isn't
"Section 1.1." That's what I wanted to clarify. Given your description, a
properly set up multilevel list should do exactly what you ask. You should
be able to start with the existing 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 style and use Define new
Multilevel list to link it to your paragraph styles. To do this, you need to
click More to expand the dialog so you see the "Link level to style"
setting. Start in a paragraph of your top-level style and link all the
styles at once.
