[SOLVED] latex question

\begin{thebibliography}{5}

\bibitem{mazo}
Robert M. Mazo.
\emph{Brownian Motion: Fluctuations, Dynamics and Applications}.
Clarendon Press, Oxford,
2002.

\bibitem{schweitzer}
F. Schweitzer.
\emph{Brownian Agents and Active Particles}.
Springer, Berlin,
2003.

\end{thebibliography}

When I compile that with the texnic center, the numbering the bibliography is messed up. Does anyone know why?

Sorry, I think that there a problem somewhere else in the document that is causing this since I deleted the rest of the document and the bibliography came out nicely.
 
ok. I hope you find the error!
