Alison, The fix is fairly simple. You basically need to specify two counters in your numbered list formats; one for each list level.
The first numbered and alpha list steps have the following auto-numbering setups: <n=1>.\t This should be <n=1>< =0>.\t (set the top-level list number to "1"; reset but do not print the second-level list number.) <a=1>.\t You actually don't need this format. Each top-level list will resent the counter for the second-level list. If you did keep this format, it would be < ><a=1>.\t Second and subsequent numbered and alpha list steps have the following auto-numbering setups: <n+>.\t This should be <n+>< =0>.\t (increment the first-level list number; reset but do not print the second-level list number) <a+>.\t This should be < ><a+>\t (maintain, but do not print, the first-level list number. Increment the second-level list). Once set up, FrameMaker's list numbering is rock-solid and reliable. Hope this helps! -Alan -- Alan Houser Group Wellesley, Inc.
