<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Instead of editing the individual fm files in the book, you should
try modifying the numbering scheme for the child book <i>(.book)</i> components
in the master book itself. (For the book components in the master book,
right-click your child book and set volume numbering for each child book-A, B
and C sequentially or set the first one to A and set the others to ‘Continue
numbering from previous file in book’). This should get you the desired master
index.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>By design, numbering variables in hierarchical books are meant
to be pushed from top to bottom(master book to child books). So the variables from
the master book override and percolate down to the child books in the hierarchical
book workflows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
