Outline numbering to continue on level 2

I want to number book sections and chapters as follows:
A, 1, 2, 3,
B, 4, 5,
C, 6, 7, 8
 etc.

Note that I want the 'heading 2' to continue numbering through the first level. But if I set this to "continue previous list", I still get the numbers re-starting with B, then again, with C, etc. Any ideas?

Answer
You have to set up a multilevel list. In the multilevel dialog box, for level 2, deselect the "Restart after" option (you have to click the More button in order to see that option). See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html.
