It sounds like you've got two numbering systems going on. One uses <$Chapnum>, the other uses paragraph numbers instead.
You can influence the <$Chapnum> numbering with the Format-Document-Numbering dialog, tab 'Chapter'
You can influence the paragraph numbering with the Format-Document-Numbering dialog, tab 'Paragraph'.

Check the Numbering properties of the ChapTitle and the Heading1 paragraph tags. You should use the same numbering system in all para tags that have a paragraph number.
