Melissa,
I think you should try to learn more about how autonumbering
series work, using the online help or manual. Your suggestion
of adding a B: series to the Body style suggests you're not
too familiar with these concepts :-)

Let me also say that I think you have an overly complex
numbering style for figures and tables. Is this an external
requirement or are you just doing things they've always been
done?

To reset the figure and table numbers with each new section,
you need the following:
Heading 2 = C:<$chapnum>.<n+>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>\t
Heading 3 = C:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n+>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>\t
Heading 4 = C:<$chapnum>.<n>.<n>.<n+>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>\t
etc.

Regarding the problem of having figures and tables under
each heading level, you have apparently already figured out
that you need separate figure/table tags for each level:
> As for the Figures and Tables, we also use them from level 2-6.
> Figure Title 2 = 1.1-1 (C:Figure <n>.<n>-<n+>< >. )
> Figure Title 3 = 1.1.1-1, etc (C:Figure <n>.<n>.<n>-<n+>< >. )
> Same for the Tables.

The problem is the same as for the other Figure/Table tags,
they need to have the same no. of fields as all other tags
using the C: autonumbering series, e.g.
Figure 2 = C:Figure <$chapnum>.<n>< >< >< >< >-<n+>< >.
Table 2 = C:Table <$chapnum>.<n>< >< >< >< >-< ><n+>.
Figure 3 = C:Figure <$chapnum>.<n>.<n>< >< >< >-<n+>< >.
Table 3 = C:Table <$chapnum>.<n>.<n>< >< >< >-< ><n+>.
etc.

As you see, you need a LOT of tags for this numbering style...
I'm not so sure your readers really will be helped by figure
numbers like "Figure 2.1.3.2.1.5-4"
