[Framers] FM2019 Volume and Chapter Numbering

[Reng Winfried]

Hi,

In a previous job the figure numbers and table numbers
were a combination of the chapter number and a running
number in this file:
Figure x-x
Table x-x

This works only, when the figure and table format use the 
same series as heading1.
This is an argument for a single all-in-one numbering scheme.
I do not use the chapnum placeholder, as I want to be free to
have several chapters in a single file.

Best regards

Winfried

The only problem I've run into is when an extra heading needs to be added in--assuming you want all the heading markers all in a row and not randomly placed anywhere in the code as they are added. The code has to be updated everywhere if it's an all-in-one code. Nothing that can't be overcome, but I've always found it a lot easier if the headings are a separate list--simply create a new heading level (e.g. Heading6), add another <n> before the last <n+>, and done.

Also, sometimes I only want users to use the editing features--catalogs, spell checker, find/change, user variables, etc.--and stay away from the reference pages, master pages, and the various designers.
