Can I auto-number the left column in Word 2007 to make a list of action points?

Hi All

I want to use a table in Word to log meeting minutes. The left column will be a category number, then sub-number, the middle column will be the detail and the right column will be the initials of the person responsible.

So far this is all being edited by hand, but what I'd like to do is set it so that when a row is inserted and numbered, all subsequent rows update. This is easily done for a straight 1, 2, 3..... list but I can't get sub-points (1.1, 1.2 etc) to work. Here is an example of what I'd like. Sorry for the redactions!

Thanks,
Paul.
