A basic question: have you updated the book? Changes in numbering
properties set in the book are not applied until you Update the
book. This is a common mistake if you're new to FM.

That's impossible to answer without knowing exactly how your
numbering is supposed to look. The autonumber format is OK
if your figures are supposed to be numbered from 1 and upwards
throughout the whole book, without any chapter number being
part of the figure number, and *if* no other paragraph tags
use the "F:" series. You cannot, for instance, number tables
with "F:Table <n+>" or steps with "F:Step <n+>", since they
will use the same numbering sequence as the figures!

Autonumbering in FM is actually very logical and consistent,
once you understand it :-)
