Default Numbering in Styles

Dear friends,

I am facing a problem in Styles formatting, especially in Numbering of Heading 2 and Heading 3. Let me first show what is my final requirement...

1. This is heading 1 Style
1.1 This is heading 2 Style
1.2 This is heading 2 Style
1.3 This is heading 2 Style
1.3.1 This is heading 3 Style
1.3.2 This is heading 3 Style
1.4 This is heading 2 Style
2. This is heading 1 Style
2.1 This is heading 2 Style
2.2 This is heading 2 Style
2.3 This is heading 2 Style
2.3.1 This is heading 3 Style
2.3.2 This is heading 3 Style
2.4 This is heading 2 Style

Above is the final form I am looking for. The problem occurs in numbering of 2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4 for heading 2 styles which became 1.5,1.6,1.7.1.8 respectively. For 2.3.1,2.3.2 for heading 3 styles which became 1.3.3,1.3.4 respectively.

I have somewhat overcome this by creating a new number format for time being. but this lacks the automatic updation when the heading 1 style is changed (For example 2 is changed to 3, then their respective heading 2 and heading 3 are not changing)

Thanks in advance.

Default Numbering

Numbering in Word is notoriously tricky.

Try right-clicking on the list section that continues the 1. numbering instead of advancing to 2, and select "Restart numbering". It might do the trick. Or, it might not. Hidden section breaks can also cause problems, and sometimes one has to take the section out of the document, set it up in a black document with the same template attached, and then bring it back in.

Does that work?
