How do you set up customized headings so that they number sequentially? I set
the numbering option to outline. It numbered all H1s the same number as well
as H2s etc. I highlighted the second H1 and second H2 and saw that "Continue
with previous list" was selected.

You need to apply outline numbering as described at

evidently I am missing something here. I had all that you had on your page
but it still will not name in sequence. It just names all H1's 1.0 and all
H2's 1.1. It will not name them
1.0 Blah blah
1.1 blah blah
1.2 blah blah
2.0 Blah blah
2.1 blah blah
2.2 blah blah

Its not a matter of "having" all the features, it is a matter of following
the steps outlined, in order, exactly.

DUDE! I did follow the steps step-by-step. Anyway thanks I will figure
something out if I have to type each number in.

"Continue

Check to make sure that the 1 you see in the Customize Outline Numbered List
dialog has a gray box around it. If it doesn't, it's not a field but a typed
number. If so, delete it and change the number format to (none) and then
back to 1, 2, 3 to reinsert the number properly.
