Word heading numbering multilevel, with different chapters continuous, uppercase numbers for chapter

Heading numbering is usually divided into different levels, each with a different number, which requires the use of multilevel numbering in Word. Generally speaking, each level has the same number, but sometimes it is required to use uppercase numbers for the first level numbers (such as "chapter"), and Arabic numerals for other levels.

If the operation steps are not correct, the next level numbers of different chapters will be consecutive. For example, the next-level number of Chapter 2 will be followed by the number of Chapter 1. For example, the next-level number of Chapter 2 should start from 2.1, but then following the number of Chapter 1, before it is not 2 but 1. If the last number of the first chapter was 1.5, the first number of Chapter 2 continues it becomes 1.6. In addition, there will be cases where the numbers are not continuous.
