I have a numbered (lettered) list of A, B, C, D,... but the list will not continue past letter C. I have created the 2 styles for numbering, one starting the number at letter A and one continuing from previous list. When I use the continue from previous list style it works up until letter C. and continues letter C. for the remainder of the list, for example:
A. TOPIC (start at A. paragraph style applied)
text text text text text text text text text text text text
B. TOPIC (continue numbering paragraph style applied)
text text text text text text text text text text text text
C. TOPIC (continue numbering paragraph style applied)
text text text text text text text text text text text text
C. TOPIC (continue numbering paragraph style applied)
text text text text text text text text text text text text
etc.
I'm not using styles existing from a previous document, am not using styles based on other styles and have made all styles from scratch so I'm unsure why the numbering isn't working.

I just tried it out on a new document and it works fine for me, so maybe your document has glitched. Try exporting to IDML and opening that.
I see you have a lot of styles. Is it possible you are applying a different style to the fourth paragraph at that level? Also, try right-clicking on the paragraph and see if Continue Numbering is in the contextual menu. If it is, the paragraph is not currently using the next number (or letter in this case).
Edit: Check the Level attribute for your styles. The A, B, C paragraphs need to be Level 1, or at least a higher level than the numbered paragraphs.
Hi,
Can you lest us know if TOPIC A, TOPIC B have one style applied and TOPIC C has another style applied?
If yes, maybe the style "TUES ROUND TABLE CONTINUE" has been defined something like this..
If yes, then you need to create Lists in order to continue the numbering from the style of TOPIC (A&B) to style of C...
