Appendix Numbering

[Alan T Litchfield]

I feel your pain. Many government workers and lawyers do not know how  
to count.

The way that FM counts beyond Z is correct: AA, AB,... . But AA,  
BB, ... is not, however there is little that can be done about once it  
has gone through the courts.

On one project I have various mixtures of counting styles drafted by  
different legal firms and approved by various judges.

In the end I had to manually fix the numbering in each paragraph  
format. Big pain but it worked. The upside is that the numbering is  
never allowed to change.
