X-refs working differently in FM 7.2 vs. FM 9?

[Spectrum Writing]

Lots of ways to skin a cat in FM, huh? (Sorry to all cat-lovers out there!)
Anyway, between Richard, Stuart's and Rick's reply, I got some stuff
modified to get what I needed.

Thanks all!

Why is < =0> there? Try taking it out. Reset of numbering after a
heading (or anything else) is implemented with the autonumber setting of
the heading. That's where you need a < =0> for each numbering stream you
want to reset. 

Here's what the autonumbering looks like for my numbered list tags: 

TaskIntroduction and all headings: N:< =0>< =0>
This resets two levels of numbering to start over. 

ListNum: N:<n+>< =0>\t
This increments the first level of numbering, which is numeric, and
resets the second to start over. 

ListAlpha: N:< ><a+>\t
This leaves the first level unchanged and undisplayed, and increments
the second level, which is lower-case alpha. 

HTH!
