How to do nested headings?

[rivimey]

In ID CS2 How do I get automatically numbered, nested headings. That is:

1 First
blah blah...
1.1 Sub1
blah ...

2 Second
blah ...
2.1 Sub2
blah ...
2.2 Sub2
blah ...

The only thing I can that might do it is Nested Styles, but I can't see how to actually do it.

I'm used to having styles for each level (Heading1, Heading2 etc). At the moment, my doc uses 3 levels a lot with a max of 4 levels.

Can I create a TOC from these?

Thanks,

Ruth

Are you new to nested styles or just confused by CS2's implementation.

Create character styles for the different styles in the headings, then create a single paragraph style and nest the character styles that you just created.

Thanks for the hint, but I guess I'm confused by the implementation, and still don't get it.

I don't see a way to have an automatically managed heading number in a character style?

Any chance you could spell it out a bit more?

P.S. I have used a nested style in one way: a paragraph that used a bold character style to highight a "paragraph topic". So I do get that part.
