a case where I have a question about numbering pages in a
book.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=995415918-28112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
to create a book which is to be generated monthly. The book will contain 3
FrameMaker files. The first FrameMaker file rarely changes and its length
should be between 3 and 5 pages. It's an introduction
section.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=995415918-28112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
second file is a generated Table of Contents that is to be linked to the 3rd
file, this file can be anywhere between 3 and 7 pages
monthly.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=995415918-28112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
third file is generated every month from a list that is maintained in another
department. The list is converted to an XML document which is imported
into FrameMaker.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=995415918-28112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I need
the document to have numbering starting at the beginning of the first file
running continuously through each file, these numbers are not printed on the
pages, but to make sure the third section starts on the correct page they have
to be there. Here's where I'm not sure how to proceed. The Table of
Contents file (the second in the book) needs to have its own numbering printed
in the final copy, starting at 1.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=995415918-28112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>i.e.:
Table of Contents Page 1, Table of Contents Page 2.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=995415918-28112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In
this case the <$curpagenum> variable contains the page number of the book
(which starts at 6 after the introduction section). Is there a FrameMaker
variable that can be read from the file? Something like
<$filepagenum>? If that's not the case is there a variable I can use
(similar to section numbers <n+>) that simply increments so that I can put
those numbers on the Table of Contents pages?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
