That might do the trick. The added text appears as expected in a file saved
as text only. The only downside right now seems to be that I have to do the
outline numbering for each file in the manuscript. But there are only 9 of
them.

I hope that I can soon ask an editor with the publishing company whether
this is acceptable. But for now, it seems to work. So thank you!
