Well,

The correct way to do it is to use the method you're reluctant to use:
"TableTitle with T:Table <n+>: format and use 'Continue from Previous
File in Book' for Paragraph Numbering"

So long as no other paragraphs use the T: numbering track and you
change the method in the book file to set the para numbering to
restart at 1 at the beginning each new guide, it should work fine.

My problem is how to serially number the tables across a specific set of chapters. That is, I have to serially number the tables from 1 to n in Guide 1, and 1 to m in Guide 2; and build List of Tables for each guide.

The number of paragraph tags used is also very large that I cannot manually check for the nature of autonumbering in each.
