Can somebody help with macro for automated paragraph numbering in my document?

In column "A" I need to have paragraph numbers. I have three different types of numbering. They are "1", "1.1" and "1.11.1". In column "B" I have text and in column "C" I will insert corresponding text for macro to get information what number should be inserted in column "A". These options will be "main" for "1", "sub" for "1.1" and "sub-sub" for "1.11.1".

So here is an example of my document.

Code:
A           B                  C

1           Car parts        main
             Some text
             Some text
1.1        Wheels           sub
             Some text
1.2        Bumper          sub
             Some text
1.3        Windshield      sub
             Some text
1.4        Motor             sub
             Some text
1.4.1     Cylinders        sub-sub
             Some text
             Some text
             Some text
             Some text
1.4.2     Throttle          sub-sub
             Some text
             Some text
1.4.3     Spark plugs    sub-sub
             Some text
             Some text

2           Car options     main
             Some text
             Some text
             Some text
             Some text
             Some text
2.1        Leather seats  sub
             Some text
             Some text
2.2        Xenon-lights    sub
             Some text
2.3        Transmission    sub
             Some text
             Some text
             Some text
2.3.1      Robot             sub-sub
             Some text
             Some text
             Some text
2.3.2      Automatic       sub-sub
             Some text
             Some text

3           Other              main
             Some text
             Some text
3.1        Pas. car           sub

etc.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
How about
Code:
Sub Addlevels()
   Dim m As Long, s As Long, ss As Long
   Dim Cl As Range
   
   For Each Cl In Range("C2", Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      Select Case LCase(Cl.Value)
         Case "main"
            m = m + 1: s = 0: ss = 0
            Cl.Offset(, -2).Value = m
         Case "sub"
            s = s + 1: ss = 0
            Cl.Offset(, -2) = m & "." & s
         Case "sub-sub"
            ss = ss + 1
            Cl.Offset(, -2) = m & "." & s & "." & ss
      End Select
   Next Cl
End Sub

      End Select
   Next Cl
End Sub

Thanks a million!
