<div dir="ltr">Your problem may just be what you say: "<span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14.545454025268555px">each chapter had the Format – Document – Numbering (and Page) set properly.</span>"<div style>
The book update does not look for what each chapter file says about numbering. You have to set it in the book (right-click each file reference there and setting all numbering attributes relevant to your publication). You can choose one or more files at the same time, doing the numbering "in bulk" (almost).</div>

<br>The numbering is a delicate interaction between a number of settings. Usually putting your content into the containers provided by the template (and removing overrides from any of the numbered paragraph tags) will fix problems. (Of course, that assumes you have a good template.)<br>
<br>It is NOT usually a good idea to start trying this and that setting while hoping for the best.<br> <br>Craig<br> <u></u><u></u></span></p><div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><hr size="3" width="100%" align="center">

Subject: Changed Section and Subsection Numbers<br>Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:39:15 +0000<u></u><u></u></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Framers: I need your help. In a multi-section book, my section and subsection numbers in section 2 reverted from 2, 2.1, 2.2, etc. to 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc. I don’t know why this happened; I didn’t (knowingly) do anything to this chapter. This section did read 2, 2.1, 2.2 this morning. I went into Format – Document – Numbering and tried to fix the Chapter, Section, and Sub-section tabs in Numbering Properties, but nothing is working. Section 2’s numbering remains 1, 1.1, 1.2. Luckily, this glitch has not affected the section and subsection numbers in any of the other chapters in this book. I could use some step-by-step instructions on how to get the section numbers to convert back to 2, 2.1, 2.2. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
