Your numbering scheme does not look right in the screenshot you have provided. Numbering can be controlled on the book level and the document level. I believe you need to look at your books numbering properties. This is what the numbering code should look like. Or something akin to this:

Hi Amit;

Your cursor is in a body paragraph in that screenshot so we can't see how your numbering is set up. Click in the heading and share another one please.

If that looks OK, then be sure that you return to the book file, select chapters 2 through the end, right click the selected chapters in the book file and choose Numbering > Continue from Previous File in Book, and then update the book. Does that take care of it?

Hi Amit:

Here's the FrameMaker rule that tripped you up: you can have a multiple numbering series in a single file, but you are only allowed to have one unnamed series. All other series need to begin with a character and a colon to differentiate them from each other. This is called a Series Label.

In your document, you have numbered headings as one series, and you have an alphanumberic list as a second series. I added an L: to both of the paragraph styles in your list, and that took care of the issue. You could do it the other way, if you prefer: add an H: to your heading styles and leave the lists alone.

The key is to note that these are two separate lists, and FrameMaker cannot differentiate between them, unless you tell it to.
