Numbered style bug in Word 2007?

I am trying to create the following numbered styles:
1 Heading one
1.1 Paragraph one
1.2 Paragraph one
1.2.1 Paragraph two
....etcetera
What I get is this:
1 Heading one
1.1 Paragraph one
1.2 Paragraph one
1.1.1 Paragraph two (this one is wrong)
My first thought is I must have made a mistake. So I modify it. I
start over. I do this many times but always with the same result. When
I make the same style scheme in Word 2003, it works right away.
I started out with the Heading style. I based it on nothing and put no
numbering on it. Then I made the paragraph styles. I based them on the
relative level heading. I also tried basing it on nothing. The result
was the same. I don't put any numbering on them at this stage.
Then I make a list style. I connect each level to the appropriate
style. I include numbers from previous levels.
I have tried to check the box about legal style, although I don't
quite understand what it is. I've tried checking that box for each
level. And I've tried unchecking it for each level. Still - nothing
helps.
I really believe this is a bug. And if it is...can somebody please
help me with some vba-code to solve the problem for now?
Thanks!

I just want to add something. I have many levels of headings and many
levels of subheadings. For example:

1 Heading one
1.1 Heading two
1.2 Heading two
1.2.1 Heading three.

This works fine. Its when I get to the paragraphs that come underneath
the headings that I experience the problem.See original question. I
hope somebody can help me.

In a quick test, I cannot reproduce what you are seeing. But since you got
it to work in Word 2003, it may very well be a bug in Word 2007.

Which is the exact version number (in Word Options, Resources tab)? Did you
install the service pack?

It is version 12.0.6331.5000 and SP1.

In my multilevel list style:
Level one is linked to Heading one (1)
Level two is linked to Heading two (1.1) I include the previous level
and then put a period and then I choose a number format.
Level three is linked to Heading three (1.1.1)
Level four is linked to Heading four (1.1.1.1)
So far no problems.
Level five is linked to paragraph two (1.1)
Level six is linked to paragraph three (1.1.1) This is where I run
into problems. Everything else has worked up until this point.
Level seven is linked to paragraph four (1.1.1.1)
Level eight is linked to a paragraph called a-list (a)
Level nine is linked to a paragraph called i-list (i).

(Here I would really like a tenth level for a numbered list that I
want to restart after a heading but that seems impossible.)
My real problem is level six.
I hope this will help you reproduce the problem.

You may have to clear the contents of the "Enter formatting for number" box
for level 6 and rebuild it, adding a number, previous levels, and
punctuation all over again. Sometimes that is all one can do...

I've tried that. I've even tried rebuilding the whole thing from
scratch. The problem remains.
