Numbered style bug in Word 2007?

I got this to work properly by carefully redoing the "formatting for number"
(after several tries).
The Para 2 number must include level 1.
The Para 3 number must include levels 1 and 5.
The Para 4 number must include levels 1, 5, and 6.

Imagine that you first create three new styles. Call them paragraph 2,
3, 4. Never mind the formatting at this point. You can base them on
nothing. It doesn't really matter. I've tried basing them on headings,
but the problems still occurs.

Now create a new multilevel list style. Link level 1 to Heading 1. Use
the numbering type: 1, 2, 3. The result is "1 Heading 1".
Link level 2 to Heading 2. Here you include previous level 1, put a
period and then use numbering typ 1, 2, 3. The result is "1.1 Heading
2"
Link level 3 to Heading 3. Include level 1 and 2 and use the numbering
type 1, 2, 3. The result is "1.1.1 Heading 3".
And so on for level 4 resulting in "1.1.1.1 Heading 4"
Now on level 5, we link it to paragraph 2. Include previous level 1,
resulting in "1.1 paragraph 2"
On level 6 we get "1.1.1 paragraph 3"
On level 7 we get "1.1.1.1" paragraph 4".

In order to not get a hideous list we can indent all levels to 1,5
cm ;-)

So far it looks good. I thought it worked at this point. But when you
try it, try typing a heading 1, underneath it paragraph 2, then
paragraph 2 again. Then paragraph 3. This is where I run into
problems. What I get is this:
1 Heading 1
1.1 Paragraph 2
1.2 Paragraph 2
1.1.1 Paragraph 3 (This should be 1.2.1, like it is with the
headings).

I hope this was clear. It's easier with screen dumps or the actual
file. Please let me know if I can e-mail it to you.

Thanks!
