Straight-through numbering in FM book

[Nancy Allison]

Hi, all.

I've switched from chapter numbering to straight-through numbering in a FrameMaker document. I'm using FM 10 in a Win 7 environment.

Dropping the <Chapnum> from the page number setup on the master pages was the easy part. Here is what I haven't been able to do:

--Renumber figures and tables so they autonumber consecutively through multiple chapter files. They restart at 1 with each chapter. Even the FrameMaker-supplied Book template has this problem!

--Keep my cross-reference formats from breaking. Specifically, the hyperlink breaks. See "Figure 3-1" where "Figure 3-1" is a hyperlink becomes See "<Hyperlink> Figure 3-1." Why does changing the autonumber format affect the cross-reference?


Please feel free to explain all this in detail, but also, please feel especially free to email me the autonumbering sequences that work for you for figures and tables!

Thanks!

It's been years since FM has driven me this crazy . . . .
