Default Index [TOC] numbers aren't right

So i'm trying to make a nice index but the numbers don't add up.

At this moment it's like this:

1. Chapter one .... 1
1.1 Sub ........... 2
2. Chapter two .... 3
1.2 Sub ........... 4

But it should be like this:

1. Chapter one .... 1
1.1 Sub ........... 2
2. Chapter two .... 3
2.1 Sub ........... 4



I hope I made myself clear with this.. This is my first time posting here.

The article that Jim gave you is THE word on numbered headings.

If you set up these following the directions there, your Table of Contents (not Index) will work the way you want. A TOC appears (usually at the beginning of a document) and is arranged sequentially by page number. An Index usually appears at the end of a document and is arranged alphabetically by topic showing page numbers. This is the regular usage in American English and Word jargon.
