Hi; This bug is not resolved. I am using version 6.4.4.2 in Linux and the
stable version in Windows (6.3.6.2). The following causes the numbering
problem:
* Create numbered headings using chapter numbering
* save as docx and exit
* reopen the file
* insert a new heading
Bug: The new heading always starts with a number of 1.
I fix this by clicking on the heading that I have entered; then right click on
"Bullets and Numbering" and choose option "Restart Numbering".
I then save this as a docx and reopen it in Microsoft Word (365). I insert a
new heading and then, lo and behold, this new heading starts at 1 too. To fix
this in Word I click Home then select the "Multilevel List" option and then I
select a Heading list (or I create my own multi-level list). Basically, the
libreoffice document that was sent to Word had the wrong type of list (i.e. not
a "Heading" list)
The above might not seem like a major problem because it is a workaround.
However, the bug is CRITICAL (I cannot change it to this as I do not have
authority) because it stops all collaboration on documents with numbered
headings between Libreoffice and Word, as I cannot ask my clients to fix
numbering problems caused by Libreoffice when they are working in Word. Given
that most businesses rely on numbered headings to docx formatted documents this
makes it generally impossible to use Libreoffice in a shared business
environment. Also, often I receive client documents in docx format I am
expected to review them and make changes in docx format - not ODT format. 
Hope this helps as a clarification.
Just to say - this cannot be insuperable as Softmake Office has resolved the
docx heading numbering.
