How to Fix Windows Update Errors?: 2 separate multilevel lists in the same document

2 separate multilevel lists in the same document

Help! Please! I'm tired of banging my head on this issue.
I need to figure out how the numbering system works for a type of manual.
I figured out the main multilevel list part that goes like this:
1.0 Heading 1
1.1 Heading 2
1.1a Heading 3
1.1a(1) Heading 4
I am able to recreate this and it works fine.
BUT then there is a separate section at the top for a preface that is numbered differently and does not affect the other list.
The preface is numbered like this:
P.1
P.1a
P.1a.(1)
How do I have those 2 separate multilevel lists in the same document and not have them interfere with each other?
I can't figure it out.
Thanks soooo much for any help.

Assuming you're not using the built-in heading styles for the headings in the Preface, there should be no problem.
Just define a new multilevel list linked to the styles you're using.
You can modify these styles to have outline levels of 1, 2, 3 so that
the TOC entries will have the same formatting as the comparable chapter headings.
If you do want/need to use heading styles (because you need to include the paragraph number as a "chapter number" in page or caption numbers), you can use some of the lower-level styles (say, Heading 7-9); they won't include numbering from the upper levels
or restart after higher levels.
This would be the same principle as that explained for numbering appendixes in
