Auto-numbering tables and figures consecutively

[Thomas Scalise]

Esteemed colleagues,

 

I am using FrameMaker 8 on a machine running Windows XP Professional.

 

I have a manual with six chapters and consecutive page numbers (1 through 68). I want the tables and figures to be numbered consecutively as well throughout the book (Figures 1 through 15...Tables 1 through 9, for example).

 

However, I cannot get the numbering to bridge all the chapter breaks. It works across some chapters, but not others. The manual is really deficient in this area. I have looked for a counter reset at the beginning of the offending chapters but I haven't found it. 

 

If someone out there can suggest a course of action, or point me to a good explanation, I would appreciate that. Thanks in advance.
