Default Numbered headings, big problem

Hi,
This is my first post to the group. In Word 2000, I've been trying to set
the style numbering so that in the document it goes like this:
1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
2
2.1
2.1.2
etc with suitable indentation, tho that's not the issue.
I've got it organized for Heading 1 and Heading 2 levels but with Heading
3 levels the numbering does not change from 1.1.1, it doesn't progress
numerically as I want it to. I am using Headings as the style categories,
is this OK? Or should I use Levels? Also, is it better to start off by
defining a new template?

Thanx for any help, this stuff is driving me crazy.

regards

Roy

You need to set up numbering and indents for each level starting at
the top-level paragraph style (that is, Heading 1) as described in the
following article:
