No. 4 appears twice in a numbered list

I am working with a numbered list that includes an a couple indented numbered list. Like this:

1. Sentence.

2. Sentence.

3. Sentence.

a. Sentence

b. Sentence

c. Sentence

4. Sentencen

a. Sentence

b. Sentence

c. Sentence

4. This number should be five but it defaults to 4.

If I deleted the a,bc, list, the second No. 4 turns to 5.

Any ideas on how to correct this?

You use 3 parastyles with a same level!

Use 2 levels (in my sample: the first level for "Num_1", the second level for "Num_a" & "Num_a_suiv.")!

So you will need only 2 para styles (trash the "Num_a" para style) and the restarts will be automatic…

Thank you. I change the a, b, c list to Level 2 and that solved the issue.
