Issue with certain numId value not rendering bullet points with templateProcessor

Issue Summary:

Description: When generating Word documents using templateProcessor replaceXmlBlock, there is an issue with list numbering. Specifically, using <w:numId w:val='4'/> causes the list numbering to continue from a previous list instead of starting a new list. This results in incorrect numbering in the Word document.

Workaround:

Replacing <w:numId w:val='4'/> with <w:numId w:val='3.5'/> resolves the issue, suggesting there might be a bug with how templateProcessor handles certain numId values.

Expected behavior

<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:numPr>
<w:ilvl w:val="0"/>
<w:numId w:val="4"/>
</w:numPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:r>
<w:rPr/>
<w:t xml:space="preserve">xxxxxxx</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:p>
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:numPr>
<w:ilvl w:val="0"/>
<w:numId w:val="4"/>
</w:numPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:r>
<w:rPr/>
<w:t xml:space="preserve">xxxxxxx</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:p>

does not generate lists with bullet point but <w:numId w:val="1"/>, <w:numId w:val="2"/>, <w:numId w:val="3"/>, <w:numId w:val="5"/> etc do.

Steps to reproduce

Use templateProcessor replaceXmlBlock to generate a Word document with multiple lists.
Assign <w:numId w:val='4'/> to one of the lists.
Observe that the list with numId=4 continues numbering from a previous list instead of starting a new list.
