I am creating a document that require number section heads.

I began by cutting and pasting from several documents that did not employ
numbered section heads.

How can I can get Word to auto-generate the correct corresponding sections
head as I cut-n-paste from other source documents?

e.g. 2.0 New Head, followed by 2.1 Sub-section head and so on.

Set up numbering attached to styles as explained at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html.

If you are using Word 2007, you can click Multilevel List (on the Home
ribbon), then click Define New Multilevel List, which opens a dialog box
similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box of previous
versions (this dialog box is discussed at the above link). For more
stability, you may want to create a list style (Multilevel List | Define New
List Style), and then link its numbering levels to paragraph styles.

When numbering has been properly defined, apply the appropriate style to
each paragraph that should be numbered.
