Setting up numbering in styles

I am trying to create a number of styles which link to the previous ones but I can't seem to get the numbering right. For example I'll have some headings under the style Heading 1 eg 1. North 2. South 3. East but when I try to make a Heading 2 style to follow that the numbering goes out so where I want 2.2 I have 1.2 instead. I can't seem to get the heading 2 to restart the numbering correctly.

Hi Keely, thanks for your query. The way to do this is too involved to put on this forum, but the following link details the process. Don't be put off by it's length or how involved it seems, if you follow the steps through it really does work!

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I followed it step by step and although it works for level 2/heading 2, once it gets to level 3 and beyond it doesn't work!

Apologies I have now fixed the issue! Many thanks for that link!

No problem Keely. Well done for persevering, it's a relief when it works, isn't it?!

Definitely! Now I understand how the styles link to one another it's going to be a huge help.
Thank you
