Fixing Numbers in PDF Bookmarks

[William Abernathy]

Here's an annoyance I'm stumped on. I've been working on updating my group's 
template, which is a unification of two work groups' templates.

One group had chapter title paragraph tags that addressed chapter numbering with 
  a simple auto-number, after which the writer was required to enter a soft 
(linefeed) return to enter the chapter title. The other group had a special 
frame on the First master page that contained the chapter number, which would 
appear automatically, with writers simply required to enter the chapter title in 
the adjacent title line field. I proposed a simple alternative, which eliminated 
the first group's required user input and the complexity of the second group's 
extra master pages and paragraph tags. This was to use a Chapter title paragraph 
tag that had the chapter number, a tab, and the text.

Would that life were so simple.

The group decided that for readability, the chapter/appendix number and the text 
should appear on the right margin. FrameMaker does not like line feeds in the 
autonumber fields, so I accomplished this by cunning subterkludge: I defined the 
Chapter and Appendix paragraph tags as:
"C:<$chapnum>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>[ and 46 spaces ]"

The 46 spaces forced a new line, everything stuck to the right margin, and peace 
and love ruled the stars...

Until we output the thing to PDF. [Frame 7.x outputting to PDF 5.0 using 
Distiller 7.0 on Windows XP]

The space-forced line feed results in repeated chapter numbers in the PDF 
bookmarks. For example:

1 1 Chapter Title
A A Appendix Title

Does anyone know alternatives for:
* Forcing a line feed in a chapter-heading paragraph format?
* Suppressing this bizarre repeated numbering?

Thanks in advance,
