Michael,<br><br>I completely agree. I would not like to have to represent the same information with two variables. However, if Frame does not allow for <$volnum> to have two different number formats, then my choices are limited. This template is not of my design and must adhere to the existing standard; otherwise, I would certainly advise the same numbering format in both the headings and the page numbers. But we work with what we have, not what we would wish.<br><br>Leigh<br><br>> From: mlewis@brandle.com.au<br>> To: lwwhite5@hotmail.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com<br>> Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:39:34 +1000<br>> Subject: Re: <$volnum> needs one numbering format in heading and different format in page number<br>> <br>> I question the rationale behind such a design.
