How make custom hdg 2 outline number be based on prev hdg 1 number

[Nick Piazza]

Question applies to Word 2007
I created a custom level 1 heading (DFU Heading 1) which has numbering like
1, 2, 3...
Based on that heading, I created a custom level 2 heading (DFU Heading 2)
which has numbering like 1.1, 1.2, ...
This worked fine for the first sections as shown in the format below.
1
1.1.
1.2.
1.3.
The current formatting options are as follows:
Font: 18 pt, Indent: Left: 0.75", Hanging: 0.75", Level 2, Border: Bottom:
(Single solid line, Auto, 1.5 pt Line width), Outline numbered + Level: 2 +
Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at:
0.31" + Indent at: 0.61", Style: Linked, Automatically update, Quick Style,
Based on: Normal, Following style: Normal

Thanks

1.4.

However, when I started a new section with DFU Heading 1, followed by a DFU
Heading 2, I got the following format.
2
1.5.

How do I get DFU Heading 2 to base its numbering on DFU Heading 1 so that I
would get the following?
2
2.1
