How to add numbered suffixes in MS Word doc?

I have a few headings spread through out an MS Word document. I would like these headings numbered so that if I remove one, add a new one etc the rest adjust accordingly just like a numbered list. The tricky part is that I would like the number as a suffix at the end of the heading eg. Heading 1, Heading 2 etc.

Is there a way to do this or will I just need to do this manually?

Please try to insert the Field code:

• Go to Insert>Quick Parts>Field...>select AutoNum>select 1,2,3,...>enter a space in the Separator character box>click OK.
• Then press Alt + F9 to display the complete field code. And copy and paste the code behind the other headings.
• Press Alt + F9 again to display the numbers.

Code: {AUTONUM \* Arabic \s " "}
If you want to add the above code manually, please note that the "{}" symbol must be added by Ctrl + F9.
