Trouble with using Step, sub-step, subsub step elements.

Question

We created a template using Step (1,2,3), Sub-step (a,b,c) and Subsub-step (I, ii, iii) the issue is when using a subsub-step and reverting back to sub-step for example: b.

i.

ii.

iii.

and we revert here to sub-step, the next should be sub-step

c.

Instead the next is

e.

So, can anyone help. Is there a step missing in the process, a special character missing in the template to make it continue with the next character?

Or is it something else?

Take a look at this post (which I wrote to answer a student question on the same topic). Mine is a two-level list and yours is three, but the logic is the same.

You would need a table that looks like this:

Unless you already know numbering well, I recommend reading that article first, then come back and look at the table, then compare the Auto-number format lines in your document to what you see here.

If you have any questions come back and ask—either of us can give you a hand.

EDIT: I updated the screen shot because I showed periods in the result, but forgot to add them to the building blocks.
