Multi-level heading styles in Word 2007

[Misha]

In Word 2007, I want to use the Heading 1-5 styles as multi-level lists. This
was easy to do in Word 2003, but when I try to Modify the heading styles, and
use the Format, Numbering Command, the option for ‘Outline Numbered’ no
longer appears. The options are: 1.2, 2.2, 3.2 or 1.1, 2.1, 3.1.
How do I create a Style that has:
1 Heading 1
1.1 Heading 2
1.2 Heading 3
1.3 Heading 4
2 Heading 1
2.1 Heading 2
2.2 Heading 3
2.3 Heading 4
and so on?
I do not need them indented.
Thank you for any help.

In order to quickly apply outline numbering to your headings, do the
following: On the Home tab, click Multilevel List, and then click the "1
Heading 1 1.1 Heading 2 1.1.1 Heading 3" numbering scheme in the List
Library.

Whenever you need to modify that list (or any list created in older versions
of Word), place the insertion point in the first top-level item of the list.
For heading numbering, this means in the first Heading 1 paragraph. Then
click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List.

Note that a safer approach to numbered lists in Word is to create them as
list styles, for example by clicking Multilevel List | Define New List Style
(on the Home tab of the ribbon). In the dialog box, click Format, and then
click Numbering. You will see a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline
Numbered List dialog of previos Word versions, and you can use it for any
aspect of numbering that you want to change. In particular, you can (and you
should) link each level of numbering to a paragraph style.

Later, if you want to modify the list style, you can do so the way you
modify any style in Word.

In addition to Stefan's answer, note that 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 (and 2.1, 2.2,
2.3, and so on) should all be Heading 2; Heading 3 would be 1.1.1, 1.1.2,
etc., and Heading 4 would add another level of numbering.
