Multilevel Headings Not Continuing

Question
-
I am trying to replicate a feature in Word 2003 to have a document where the Headings are numbered structuraly i.e. headings have a multilevel numbering scheme, and level can be changed using Ctrl-Alt-(Lefor or Right)Arrow
I have achieved this by using the styles tool, right click on the original style, format, numbering, and selecting the multilevel numbering.
Things don't work and the numbering doesn't continue.... <['']>
It seems like each level has it's own number tracking...
1. Paragraph 1 (Modified Heading 1)
1.1 Paragraph 1 Subheading 1 (Modified Heading 2)
1.2 Paragraph 1 Subheading 2 (Modified Heading 2)
1.1.1 Paragraph 1 Subheading 2 Sub-Sub 1 (Modified Heading 2)
Notice in the previous line the discontinued numbering....
2. Paragraph 2 (Modified Heading 1)
1.3 Paragraph 2 Subheading 1 (Modified Heading 2)
Notice in the previous line the discontinued numbering....
1.1.2 Paragraph 1 Subheading 2 Sub-Sub 1 (Modified Heading 2)
Notice in the previous line the discontinued numbering....
Help is needed AND appreciated!

That suggests your Heading 2 multi-level list numbering is not set to restart after Level 1 and, similarly, Heading 3 multi-level list numbering is not set to restart after Level 2.
