A couple things to check:
First, have you verified that no other tags are using the X: numbering
track? Having another tag using the same track involved will screw up
the numbering in no time.
Second, check the numbering properties for the files to make sure that
para numbering is set to increment... Could be either in the chapter
file or the book file...

I am having a problem numbering figures in service manuals developed by my
client. The manuals are range from 3- to 40 pages. My job is to revise the
client's existing manuals to account for annual updates and design changes for
each of my client's products. We are both using FrameMaker 7.0 on a PC platform
and a Windows XP operating system..
Figures are automatically numbered using a Figure tag for which the automatic
numbering format X:Figure <n+> (developed by the client). Most are smaller
in-column figures with a ruling line around the figure frame. In previous versions of
the manuals, the client had placed the figure numbers outside the frame, but now they
have asked me to move them inside the frame, so I set up a text box inside the
graphics frame and tag the text as Figure. What happens is that many times, figure
numbers will repeat themselves. For example, I may have three or four consecutive
figures numbered as Figure 4, followed by Figure 5 and two figures numbered as Figure
6. All text is part of the same flow. The only way I have found to correct it is to
override the automatic numbering with a specific figure number, which of course
defeats the purpose of auto numbering.
The manual I am currently working on has 30 figures. I created the last 6 or 7
and inserted the text box for the figure. When I tagged the text the numbers
for each figure was identical. I also noticed in making cross-references that
the figure numbers in the tag list were not in sequence. Example Figure 9
appeared before Figure 8.
The only items automatically numbered in the manuals are page numbers in a footer on the
underlying page and the figure numbers. Is it necessary to set up the automatic numbering
format as X:Figure <n+>< =0>?
