RE: Chapter number won't update

["Olive, Eric" <EOlive@xxxxxxxxx>]

If by "the same numbering series" you mean flow, seems to me the key is to
carefully set up flow letters at the beginning. On the Numbering tab in the
Paragraph Designer use N: for step numbering, H: for heading numbering etc.
Often, when I encounter numbering problems, it is because the original
document author forgot to use a flow letter for a steps numbering scheme (a
flow letter is not necessary if you only have a single numbering scheme
though I would recommend using one anyway), then later added a second
numbering scheme, such as headings, without a flow letter. The result, of
course, is goofy numbering.

John,

As a quickie, you can set that one chapter number to <n=3>, for example, to
make
it a 3.  I'm assuming it's not setting correctly in the file itself.

After your delivery, there are a couple of things you could try.  When this
has
bitten me in the past, it was that there was some other paragraph tag using
the
same numbering series (in error).  That would probably be in the file
immediatly
preceding the one with the problem, and it might take some time to find (you
would leave your paragraph designer open to the Numbering page, and cursor
up
from the end of the file to find this).

Good luck!
