The SHORT STORY
Spurious numeral "1" being inserted into SOME chapter
numbers and into the numbers of ALL numbered list items
in my documents.
The LONG STORY
Just converted to FM6.
Ch 1 seems OK.
Ch 2 calls itself Ch 2, properly, but the numbered lists
have gone from calling themselves steps 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
(when the document was FM 5.5.6) to calling
themselves 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1.... in other words,
there's a gratuitous "1" inserted after each proper
step number, all through the book (EXCEPT CH 1,
where I created a test list that worked perfectly, dammit).
Chapters 3 through 6 call themselves 31, 41, 51, 61.
In other words, there's a gratuitous "1" inserted after
each chapter number.
The Appendices call themselves A1, B1, C1
Same deal as the chapters, dammit.
Chapter numbering uses series H:.
H:CHAPTER <n+>\t
became
H:CHAPTER <$chapnum>\t
as part of my attempt to fix. That is,
I replaced the <n+> in Chapter paragraph numbering
with <$chapnum> on Body and Master pages. I didn't
see anything on the reference pages (doesn't mean
it's not there... I just didn't see it...)
There's no list in Ch1, but several of the other chapters
have lists, and they all behave the same as in C2.
Lists are in series S:. First item in a list is tagged
"Numbered1" and has S:<n=1>.\t for paragraph numbering.
Second-and-later items in a list have S:<n+>.\t for
para numbering.
Playing with the Numbering menu at doc level (i.e. individual
chapter) and at book level, I've tried both "Restart
Paragraph Numbering" and "Continue Numbering from
Previous Paragraph in Book". I assume I've matched the
settings in both places when I can Update the book without
seeing any of those "Mismatch... will override" messages.
Nothing seems to get rid of the spurious "1" that's
being tacked onto Chapter numbers higher than 2,
and onto ALL numbered-list numbers, immediately after
the proper numbering -- and BEFORE the tab, which is
specified in the paragraph definitions!
Figures are numbered properly throughout the book.
I want:
1. This is the first step.
I get:
1.1 This is the first step.
I want:
Chapter 3 This is a Chap Title
I get:
Chapter 31 This is a Chap Title
What am I missing, here?

PS: If it matters, all chapters were clones of CH 1,
back in the 5.5.6 days, and before I gave them
individual thumbtabs and other graphic attributes
that I don't wish to screw up. They worked for
years. There's just one leeeetle new setting
or old superfluous one that I need to eliminate,
now that I'm in FM6. What is it?
