I need some help to automatically link a paragraph number to the heading number. To give an example, I am looking to do the following (using defined styles if possible)

2. Heading (Used defined Style, say Heading 1

2.1 Sub Heading (Used defined Style, say Heading 2

2.1.1 Here is where I need the numbering to be automatically linked to the paragraph number above, and I come unstuck in my limited expertise. I would anticipate to predefine a style of some kind to use through out my document (which is quite long), so I don't want to define each paragraph numbering individually/manually

2.1.2 The next para would follow in the sequence from previous

I am sure there is a way to do it, but at a loss to get it right
 
What you have described is ordinary outline numbering. For instructions on
how to set this up correctly, see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. You'll save
yourself a lot of work if you start with the second pane in either row of
the Outline Numbering list gallery (the one that shows 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 or the
one that shows 1 Heading 1, 1.1 Heading 2, 1.1.1 Heading 3).
