Text Flow and Figure Numbering Issue

[Sam Beard]

Hello All,

   More info: The information I'm inserting into this chapter from the
technical note was written by someone else. I'd like to try and keep the
information as visually similar as possible to avoid any confusion among
those that might see both. However, the only thing I can think of doing
to resolve this issue is to re-insert the images again, as two separate
anchored frames instead of inside a single frame. Is there another
option to keep it visually similar?

Thanks much in advance!

Subject: Text Flow and Figure Numbering Issue

Hello All,

 

   Please forgive the cross-posting, but I thought it best to post to
both lists to get the answer. I'm using Frame 7.2 on Windows XP.

 

   I'm working on a chapter to a user's manual. In this chapter, I
copied and pasted in another document that serves as a technical note,
basically, when on its own. In my chapter, I'm adding it in to a
maintenance chapter. This document has one anchored frame in it that has
two graphics side by side, with figure title paragraphs below them. The
problem is that they're not in the same flow as the rest of the document
and, hence, the numbering is being thrown off. They're listed as numbers
7.8 and 7.9, with the appropriate cross-references to them in the text.
However, they SHOULD be numbered 7.13 and 7.14. I tried to connect the
text flows so the numbering would get corrected, but Frame won't let me
do that, probably because they are in text boxes inside an anchored
frame. So, how do I either connect them to the text flow of the rest of
the document or, at the least, change the numbers so they match up with
the rest of the document and don't throw off my numbering? 

 

   Thanks much in advance for the help!
