I am trying to set the autonumbering in this format 1.1.1 ,1.1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2

I have tried using outline number and I seem to be only able to increase the
3rd digit incrementily by 1.

I don't understand. Isn't that what you're trying to do? Do you mean that
the Level 3 numbering doesn't restart? Do you have the restart box checked
for that level?

Well, by what else would you like to increase it? :-)

See the following articles on Word's numbering, ahem, "challenges" (some
might call it "mess", or "fiasco"):

See the section on "Numbering, bullets, Headings, Outlines" (by Shauna

If you have managed to setup a 3-level outline numbering as described
above, then on a heading 3 "1.1.2" will follow a heading 3 "1.2.1" if
and only if there's a heading 2 between them. If you want something
else, we need more details.
