Auto-numbering figures across files

[Emhoff, Heidi]

Hi!

I am having a heck of a time trying to get my figure numbering to increase across files in a book. For example, in chapter 1, if my last graphic was Figure 1, then in chapter 2 when when I insert the caption for my first figure, I want it to be labeled Figure 2. I have set the Document Properties for Paragraph Numbering to "Continue from Previous File in Book" but that is not helping; in every chapter, the figure numbering is starting over again.

The Autonumber Format is turned on for my Caption paragraph tag as: F:Figure <n+>.\sn

I don't understand what I'm missing here. The autonumbering should allow you to have a cumulative figure number throughout the book, shouldn't it?

Please help me if you can! Thanks!

(I'm using FrameMaker 8 and the unstructured formatting.)
