General ⇒ Appendix suddenly converts into Chapter

[Andy_Bar]

Hi,
I am compiling my dissertation and it has multiple appendices. In the main document I write:

\appendix
\include{appendix1}
\include{appendix2}
\include{appendix3}
\include{appendix4}

After a certain table in appendix 2, the numbering switches as it was a table belonging to a new chapter. From then on, the next appendix is labeled "Chapter".

Any clues on why this is happening?

Hi and welcome Andy,

there is most likely something in the files doing that. Look at the second file, inspect it closely while all the other stuff is commented. This is also called making a minimal working example. Once the document is minimal and you still have no clue what causes it, you can post the minimal example here and we will gladly help.

EDIT: Just noticed, that the same question was also posted at TeX.Stackexchange
