<numPr> (Numbering Definition Instance Reference)

This element specifies that the current paragraph references a numbering definition instance in the current document.

The presence of this element specifies that the paragraph will inherit the properties specified by the numbering definition in the <num> element (§2.9.16) at the level specified by the level specified in the <lvl> element (§2.9.7) and shall have an associated number positioned before the beginning of the text flow in this paragraph. When this element appears as part of the paragraph formatting for a paragraph style, then any numbering level defined using the <ilvl> element shall be ignored, and the <pStyle> element (§2.9.25) on the associated abstract numbering definition shall be used instead.

example: 
<w:pPr>
  <w:numPr>
    <w:ilvl w:val="4" />
    <w:numId w:val="0" />
  </w:numPr>
</w:pPr>

The <numPr> element specifies that this paragraph shall contain numbering information, and its children specify that the numbering definition for that numbering information shall have a @numId of 0 and an @ilvl of 4 within that numbering definition. ]
