Hello Les, 

I'm not sure what you mean by the question marks in your descriptions. Could you please explain? 

I'm still having issues with the added "< >" tag not making any difference, and with the figures interfering with the section numbering (1.1, 1.2, etc.) . 

Thanks, 
Anirae

Framers, 

Back on Frame after several years of being forced to use inferior products. The hang of it is returning, but I have a strange auto numbering issue. Hope you can help. 

The figure numbering for the chapter breaks when I add auto numbered figures and tables. 

Several files in the book. Each file is actually its own manual, and I want the book to see each as a volume (Vol 1, 2, 3, etc.). That's working OK. I want each file to start with chapter t after the preliminary pages (Title page and TOC). The Book is set up as follows: 
1st file : 
Volume: #1 
Chapter: #1 (If I make this Read from File it doesn't change anything) 

All other files: 
Volume: Continue numbering from previous file in book. 
Chapter: Read from File 

Headings are H:Heading1, H:Heading2, etc. 

If figure format is H:Figure<sectionnum>\t<n+>, I get: 

2 Heading 
2.1 Heading 
Figure 1-5 
Figure 1-6 
1.6 Heading 
Figure 1-7 
really messed up 

If figure format is F:Figure<n>\t<n+>, I get: 
It does not recognize Heading 1 as <n> but Heading numbers are not influenced by inserting numbers, but the figures do not adopt the section number: 

2.3 heading 
Figure 1-3 
Figure 1-4 
2.3.1 Heading 
Figure 1-6 

If figure format is H:Figure<n>\t<n+><>.\t (as suggested by a post from some sight), I get: 

1 Heading 
Figure 0-1 
Figure 0-2 
2 Heading 
Figure 0-3 
2.3 Heading 
Figure 0-4 
2.3.1 Heading 
Figure 0-5 

What should I do to get: 

1 Heading 
Figure 1-1 
1.1 Heading 
Figure 1-2 
2 Heading 
Figure 2-1 
Figure 2-2 
2.1 Heading 
Figure 2-3 
2.1.1 Heading 
Figure 2-4 
and so forth 

Thank you!

Hi Anirae! 

If I read your message corrrectly, you want to have the figure numbers (and possibly also table numbers) increment? from 1 within each major section of the chapter containing them, and not interfere with or be altered by possible multiple levels of sub-sections.? The major section does reset them to start at one again. 


For this to work, the figures, tables and headings will have to be in the same numbered series (e.g. F: or H:) but you also need to use placeholders - the empty building block < > (which does not alter, nor show the value) - for counters that should not be affected. 

One suggestion is to create a grid of your numbering needs, so you can more easily see where you need to use the various types of numbering building block - display only (e.g. <n>), incrementing (e.g. <n+>) or ignoring (< > and note the space between the less-than and greater-than symbols) 


Here is how I would setup your formats, assuming only three levels of headings (as per your example).? I've added a counter for tables as well, so there are 5 total numbering positions. 

H:<n+>??????????????? 1 Heading (increment 1st level heading, reset all lower-level numbers: figures, 
???????????????????????????????? tables and sub-headings) 


H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 1-1 (show current heading #, increment figure #, don't change table or 
????????????????????????????????? sub-headings) 

H:<n>< >< >.<n+>????? 1.1 Heading (display current heading #, don't change figure or table #, 
?????????????????????????????????? increment 1st subhead and reset lower sub-heading) 

H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 1-2 

H:<n+>??????????????? 2 Heading 


H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-1 


H:<n>.< ><n+>< >< >?? Table 2.1? (show current heading #, don't change figure #, increment table #, 
????????????????????????????????? don't change sub-headings) 

H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-2 


H:<n>< >< >.<n+>????? 2.1 Heading 


H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-3 


H:<n>< >< >.<n>.<n+>? 2.1.1 Heading(display current heading #, don't change figure or table, 
???????????????????????????????????? show 1st subhead and increment lower sub-heading) 

H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-4 

and so forth.? As I'm not completely clear on how you are using either the $VolNum or $ChapNum variables (or corresponding numbering building blocks,) I have not shown those, and trust that this example will get you on the right path fairly quickly. 

? Les

Framers, 

Back on Frame after several years of being forced to use inferior products. The hang of it is returning, but I have a strange auto numbering issue. Hope you can help. 

The figure numbering for the chapter breaks when I add auto numbered figures and tables. 

Several files in the book. Each file is actually its own manual, and I want the book to see each as a volume (Vol 1, 2, 3, etc.). That's working OK. I want each file to start with chapter t after the preliminary pages (Title page and TOC). The Book is set up as follows: 
1st file : 
Volume: #1 
Chapter: #1? (If I make this Read from File it doesn't change anything) 

All other files: 
Volume: Continue numbering from previous file in book. 
Chapter: Read from File 

Headings are H:Heading1, H:Heading2, etc. 

If figure format is H:Figure<sectionnum>\t<n+>, I get: 

2 Heading 
2.1 Heading 
Figure 1-5 
Figure 1-6 
1.6 Heading 
Figure 1-7 
really messed up 

If figure format is F:Figure<n>\t<n+>, I get: 
It does not recognize Heading 1 as <n> but Heading numbers are not influenced by inserting numbers, but the figures do not adopt the section number: 

2.3 heading 
Figure 1-3 
Figure 1-4 
2.3.1 Heading 
Figure 1-6 

If figure format is H:Figure<n>\t<n+><>.\t (as suggested by a post from some sight), I get: 

1 Heading 
Figure 0-1 
Figure 0-2 
2 Heading 
Figure 0-3 
2.3 Heading 
Figure 0-4 
2.3.1 Heading 
Figure 0-5 

What should I do to get: 

1 Heading 
Figure 1-1 
1.1 Heading 
Figure 1-2 
2 Heading 
Figure 2-1 
Figure 2-2 
2.1 Heading 
Figure 2-3 
2.1.1 Heading 
Figure 2-4 
and so forth 

Thank you!

Can you send your numbering properties for all the numbered tags? I'm 
not sure without looking at them, but I have a feeling that you're 
using the same counter position/building block for both the figures 
and some of your section numbers. 

If you look at this page, Adobe has a nice table about halfway down 
the page showing how to set the building blocks up.
