numbering conundrum

[Diane Gaskill]

I had a similar numbering problem yesterday with one file out of 18 in a
book. (Must be the phase of the moon or something causing all these
numbering problems at once, huh?)

I'm using continued paragraph numbering in sub-chapter files.  All of the
files in one section of the book worked except one.  No matter what I did,
the first heading in that file stayed at 0.1 (heading text).  It should have
been 4.7 (heading text)  Retagging did not work, nor did re-importing all of
the formatting parameters into the file.  Copying the text into a new doc
also did not work.    At that point, I assumed there was something hidden in
the text that was causing the problem.  The only solution I could find was
to delete the first heading, manually reenter the text, and retag the
heading.

So, my question to the list is:  What can cause a heading to become corrupt?
I forgot to mention that these files are imported from Word.  But remember,
all of them worked except one.

Thanks,

Diane

I had this problem too. To solve it, I turned on all conditions and
paragraph tags. I noticed that on the section that wasn't numbering
correctly, there was a weird symbol. So I converted the heading to Body
tag, saved the file, then re-applied the proper style. It fixed the
problem.

I have created a tag named SecID to identify sections in my book
chapters.
It is set to autonumber according to the following format: S:Section
<$chapnum>\=<n+>\sm. I have this tag set to start at the top of page and
I
auto-apply a Custom Master Page to the page that uses this Section ID.
This page is named SectionDivider. For sections 1 through 3, it is
working
just beautifully - I get a page with Section 7-1, a page with section
7-2
and page with Section 7-3.  Now, all of a sudden, when I go to apply
this
tag to a page, the numbering is being reset to 7-1 and it won't change.
After counting beautifully to 7-3, all I get no matter where I apply
this
tag after Section 7-3 is Section 7-1. I don't get 7-4, 7-5, etc. and I
am
beyond stumped. If I had messed with the paragraph numbering to restart,

then ALL the tags should be appearing as Section 7-1, but like I said,
7-1
through 7-3 is working as expected.

Help  - I am stumped and I don't know how to begin to troubleshoot this.
I
swear I am working with Word numbering!

thanks,
