My heading 1 is the chapter and I chose to use regular number from the multilevel list. My chapter 1 keeps changing to chapter 2 after I select it to be 1. From. The "start at" option

    The problem is almost certainly that heading numbering hasn't been set up properly. See the article for which John provided a link.

    Yeah I did all that. And if you just input your chapter heading manual it won't line up for page numbers/ figure captions/ table of contents numbering correctly. Ill just remove the current multi level list numbering and re number and see if that resets the issue.
