You have to use a fundamentally different approach.

Explicitly declare the whole numbering scheme for your nested lists (2, in this 
example):
Level 1 = N+, A0
Level 2 = N, A+

Use your procedure-introduction heading to reset those numbering lists. Yes, a 
heading can have a numbering scheme, vidilicit:
N=0
A=0

So you never need a 'first number' style. Dumbest idea that the intern at Adobe 
ever came up with. (That intern might be a VP of development, now, so... Ooops!)

Bonus: conversation to DITA will be easier without an artificial/superfluous 
reset style.

HTH. I'm not at a keyboard, and I've been out of FM for yonks.
But that approach is right.

Win 10 with FrameMaker 20 (not the latest Frame version as my company doesn't 
allow updates as they are released).

I'm sure the answer to this is easy, but I can't figure it out.

I have a list of numbered instructions. Within that list is an alpha sub-list 
under one of the instructions.

When I finish the last alpha sub-list entry and revert to the numbered 
instruction list, the number continues counting from the last alpha bullet, not 
the previous numbered instruction.

For example:

1.
2.
3.
     a)
     b)
     c)
     d)
5.

Where "5" should actually be "4".

The first numbered and alpha list steps have the following auto-numbering 
setups:
<n=1>.\t
<a=1>.\t

Second and subsequent numbered and alpha list steps have the following 
auto-numbering setups:
<n+>.\t
<a+>.\t

What am I doing wrong?

Alison
