It's probably because you have the standard outline numbering scheme 
selected. Which doesn't suit your needs.

In OpenOffice (SO may be similar) go to Format --> Numbering/Bullets --> 
Select the Style of Outline Numbering that is the closest match to what 
you want then goto the --> Options Tab and setup each level to exactly 
what you want.

You should then have the correct behaviour your after.
