Thanks in advance for the help.
As I understand your description, you create your outline by applying direct
formatting to the paragraphs. You should instead use styles that have been
set up correctly. The following article explains how to set up outline
numbered heading styles:

You can modify the heading styles so that Heading 1 follows Heading 1 and so
on down the hierarchy; if you take this route, be sure to also remove the
"Keep with next" formatting for some of the lower-level styles (you could
leave it for, say, Heading 1 and Heading 2); otherwise all your paragraphs
will be chasing one another from one page to the next.
A better alternative is to link the numbering scheme to different styles. In
the Bullets and Numbering dialog, with your desired numbering scheme
selected, click Customize. In the Customize Outline Numbering dialog, click
More. With Level 1 selected, change the style for "Link level to style" from
Heading 1 to List Number. Then select Level 2 and change the style to List
Number 2, continue through as many levels as you need. (The built-in List
Number series goes only to List Number 5, so you'll have to create new List
Number styles if you want more than five levels.)
