Bullets and Numbering issue

Question

Hi,I am working on a structured document and intend to use the following numbering style. 1.1 (A:<$chapnum>. ) [Style1]1.1.1(A:<$chapnum>.. )[Style2]1.1.1.1 (A:<$chapnum>... )[Style3]a) (B:)< =0> )[Style4]and i) B:) [Style5] Only style 1 2 3 are suppose to be nested and style 4 and 5 are nested. Problem is Style 4 doesn't reset even if :Style 1,2 or are on different number. It keeps following the previous letter.Similarly Style 5 also doesnt reset. Please help.

This should give you what you want:

A:<$chapnum>.<n+>\t
A:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n+> \t
A:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n>.<n+> \t
A:< >< >< >< ><a+>)< =0> \t
A:< >< >< >< >< ><r+>) \t

Note that the < =0> isn't necessary on Style 4, but I like to use it for clarity. It tells me that there is a style below (Style 5) that is getting reset by Style 4.

Here is a way to visualize how the styles relate to each other:

A:<$chapnum>.<n+>< =0>< =0>< =0> < =0>\t
A:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n+> < =0>< =0> < =0> \t
A:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n>. <n+> < =0> < =0> \t
A:< >        < > < >  < >  <a+>) < =0> \t
A:< >        < > < >  < >  < >   <r+>) \t

Again, the < =0> building blocks are implied and not necessary to include, but I like to add them for clarity anyway. For example, if I am looking at the autonumber properties for Style 1, I can see that there are 4 other styles in the series that are dependent on that numbering.

Note: The spacing in this post is for visualization purposes only. Don't use this spacing in your actual autonumber definitions.
