Numbering problems in a book

[Jeff Coatsworth]

The warning is just pointing out that there's a difference between the book settings & the document - it can be ignored. If you set numbering by the book, update it & save the book, it should be sticking. If it's not, then there's something else going on.

Hi

Frame 10, Windows 7,

Is there some esoteric secret to getting the numbering to behave in a book? I've been bitten by this before so I've been quite careful this time only to access the numbering dialog through the book window. Despite that I still get a warning of conflicts between numbering in the book and in the document. Then I find that when I set the numbering for pages and paragraphs they rarely stick. I'm running update book but I'm wondering if there is something else that I'm missing. At the moment my document is showing the page numbers following on from each chapter into the next but the total number of pages is showing the number of pages in the chapter rather than the total number of pages in the book.

I seem to have a lot of trouble getting this to work and considering FrameMaker's reputation for stability once it's set up it doesn't seem to be very reliable.
