numbering conundrum

[Ridder, Fred]

Maybe Word's notoriously broken autonumbering is actually 
contagious!  Maybe it's mutating like avian flu to jump species?
It looks like I may have been more clever than I realized when
I used a Word-to-FrameMaker conversion process that stripped 
all autonumber and bullet formatting from Word documents 
before importing the content into FrameMaker.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

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
