MORE INFORMATION
================
In Word 7.0, there are some situations where a break formatted with a heading
style takes on heading numbering. This problem was corrected in Word 97;
however, when you save as Word 6.0 from Word 97 and then open the file in Word
7.0, the heading numbering may be incorrectly applied to the breaks.
