Oh, right. I didn't even notice that because corporate style at all the companies where I've used FrameMaker has always included the "Figure" label in the LOF (partly because that's the way that MS Word, which usually co-exists with FrameMaker, does it by default). If you have to stick with <$paranumonly>, the solution is to simply include the needed characters as a literal string in the appropriate prototype paragraph in the reference pages. In other words, instead of using <$paranumonly><$paratext> ………………………..<$chapnum>-<$pagenum> use
<$paranumonly> (U) <$paratext> ………………………..<$chapnum>-<<$pagenum> This will insert the specified five characters (the three glyphs plus leading and trailing spaces) between the numbering string and the paragraph text for every LOF entry that corresponds to the specified paragraph style. -Fred Ridder From: brenda.walterme...@jhuapl.edu To: docu...@hotmail.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 08:40:35 -0400 Subject: Re: FrameMaker 8.0 TOC building blocks But, if I use the <$paranum>, I get the word "Figure" with it too. I want to eliminate the word Figure for the LOF generated file. I only want it to show: #-# (U) Title……I-I (example) Thanks Brenda ______________________________ Brenda L.

The <$paranumonly> building block is designed to pick up only the numbers (and any separators between the digits) and omit any other following content produced by the autonumbering format. In other words, it is specifically designed to *eliminate* the kind of extra characters you are trying to add. <$paranum>, by contrast, picks up the entire autonumbering string. -Fred Ridder From: brenda.walterme...@jhuapl.edu To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 07:36:34 -0400 Subject: FrameMaker 8.0 TOC building blocks My client uses Windows XP and FrameMaker 8.0 I need to include specially marked reference for each of my titles (i.e., # (U) Title).
