Word 2013: numbered headings are printed in reverse order

Hi
Using Office Word 2013, I've crated a right-to-left article.
The problem is when I try to print the document, all the headings, which are arranged in a multilevel format, would be printed in reverse.
Here is a snapshot describing what will be printed instead of the heading number.

Thanks for your help

Hello Hassan,

 

I would need more information to assist you with the issue:

 

Does the issue occur with a particular file or all Word documents that contains Headings arranged in a multilevel format?

 

Let us create a test Word document and then try printing and check the behavior.

 

Provide us more information to help us assist you further.

This sort of number confusion is not unusual even in LTR documents, and it may be that the Define New Multilevel List dialog is just especially confusing when working in a RTL language. What this usually indicates is that the number fields for "Previous level" have gotten out of order. To be clear, should the numbers be in reverse order? With the first level listed last?

Can you post a screen shot of the Define New Multilevel List dialog for, say, Level 3? You don't need to use Dropbox; you can add a screen shot in your post here using the Insert image button on the toolbar.
