Numbered headings in Word XP

[Microsoft Word User]

I recall in Word 2000, the "styles" used to be that when
you apply a heading style, the heading are automatically
numbered,
i.e., the first Heading1 Heading would be numbered 1,
the 3rd heading2 under the first heading1 would be
numbered 1.3, Fifth heading1's third heading2's fourth's
heading3 would be number 5.3.4, and so on and so forth.

I don't seem to get that with WordXP SP2. How could I
customise the styles to do so. The key is that as I
delete sections, the numbers get updated automatically.
