Strangeness with Autonumbers

[quills at airmail.net]

I have found that when using a numbering stream 
it is best to put ALL placeholders in. Therefore 
your formats should read:

H1 A:<$chapnum>.<n+>< =0>< =0>
H2 A:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n+>< =0>
H3 A:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n>.<n+>

Additionally, ensure that you haven't used this 
number stream with the desginator (in my example 
A:) in any other numbering formats you may use.

Once you have a template with the correct 
formatting, import that format to all other files 
that are identical in format.
