Ya know, I just ran into this for the first time, about a half-hour ago. 
Someone suggested renumbering in outline mode, so that only headers are 
processed; but my problem occured in a header. The header text began with 
"C++" and the initial "C+" was replaced by the paragraph number. :-( I got 
around it by just typing the "C+" back in afterwards.
