FM9 Figure and Table Title Auto-Number Errors

Within each Chapter and Appendix, Figure and Table titles use an auto-numbering sequence.

The first Table in any Chapter/Appendix starts with the Chapter number of Appendix letter, followed by a dash and then is numbered sequentially (followed by a colon and a title). For example:

Chapter 1: Table 1-1: Title, Table 1-2: Title, etc. (fyi, the Figure auto-numbering has nothing to do with the section number numbering of 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1).

Appendix A: Table A-1: Title, Table A-2: Title, etc. (fyi, the Table auto-numbering has nothing to do with the section number numbering of A.1, A.1.1, A.1.1.1).


Figures are numbered in the same way (Figure 1-1: Title, Figure 1-2: Title).

After a lot of reading and tweaking, I've managed to make this work perfectly in Chapters - but not in Appendices.

The numbering style for Figures and Tables in CHAPTERS are as follows:

Figure#1 1 6A = F:Figure <$chapnum>\+<n=1>:
Figure#+ 1 6A = F:Figure <$chapnum>\+<n+>:

Table#1 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+<n=1>:
Table#+ 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+<n+>:


I used the same logic for the APPENDICES, but instead of getting "Table A-1: Title", I get "Table 1-1: Title", "Table 1-2: Title". So they are numbering sequentially, just not with the Appendix letter.

After 3-1/2 years, I still don't have any Figures in the Appendices so I'll cross that bridge if I come to it at some in the future.

If it matters, my Appendix heading style (Heading1App) is "A:Appendix <A+>:" and my Appendix Table styles are as follows .

Table#A 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+<n+>:
Table#A+ 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+<n+>:


Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
