Setting up page numbers that restart with chapter number

Wed May 20 11:35:56 PDT 2015

Maybe I don't understand your goal. Can't you just use the <$chapnum>-page # variable in your master page as described here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/9.0/Using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7960b-7ec2.html

Scroll down to "Include book component numbers in headers or footers".

 Subject: Setting up page numbers that restart with chapter number

Today I attempted the exercise to set up a variable for page numbering that restarts with each chapter number (1-1, 1-2, 1-3…2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc.). I checked pages 355 and 356 in Matt Sullivan’s book, Unstructured FrameMaker 11. On p. 355 after step 7 it says to see those sections for details. Where are those sections?? I checked the index and couldn’t find it. Arrrrgghh!!    I also ran through David Rivers’ tutorial on Lynda.com, but he only provided the basics for setting up master pages with page number (p. 1, 2, 3, etc.). I haven’t tried Google help yet, and not sure how to find this topic in the forum. My company does not want to pay for me to take a 3-day Framemaker class, and so I am on my own to learn this tool and figure everything out.    Can any of you point me to:    Framemaker training that doesn’t cost more than $600 that can teach me both a thorough run of the basics and more advanced tasks like this?    Web tutorials that address this topic?    A simple, clear set of instructions on how to set up page numbering that restarts with each chapter number without corrupting the document?    I’ll take any advice you can spare—thanks so much!!
