Stuck on Figure Autonumbering in a Multi-Document Chapter

[Art Campbell]

A couple things to check:

* This may be a minor point or a typo, but your Figure tag definition
doesn't include the - that you mention in text... (>  F:Fig.\
<$chapnum>\+<n+>< >\t).

* Is it possible that another tag, somewhere in the book is using the
F: numbering stream?
You may be able to check that by modifying that tag just in the files
that make up  Chapter 4, maybe changing it to f: or any other unused
letter.

* And you've applied the same set of tags to all affected files using
Import Formats?

Accordingly, the chapters containing the landscape pages are broken into separate files. I'm working on the first chapter, Chapter 4, where this is happening, and my autonumbering is giving me fits. My chapter numbers and heading numbers are working just fine across the multiple files, but my figure titles all say Fig. 4-1, despite my attempt to follow my trusty O'Keefe and Loring handbook faithfully. I don't have any tables in this chapter, so that's not an issue -- at least not yet.
