Thank you. That did the trick. My brain was starting to hurt. -----Original Message----- From: Ridder, Fred [mailto:fred.rid...@intel.com] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2007 3:52 PM To: James Dyson; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Help cross-referencing two autonumbered series
According to the FrameMaker documentation, there is a building block for cross-references that is of the form <$paranum[paratag]>, which is specifically designed for this kind of situation. This building block will pick up the numbering of the last preceding paragraph that is tagged with the "paratag" tag. If you add this building block to your x-ref format (substituting the actual tag name of your parent step, of course) you should be home free. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

For example: I want the cross reference to read: see Step2c on page 9 I had been using see Step c on page 9 (for example this is formatted: Step <$paranumonly>\ on page <$pagenum>) or Step 2 on page 9, but I need to consolidate in one cross reference. Can anyone help? I am using the following autonumbering formats in my paragraph designer. You'll see I use two different letters for the two different numbered series. For the parent (Step2 in this case) D:Step <n+> For the child (c. in this case) T:<a+>.\t Thanks, James The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended by KVH Industries for the use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is confidential or privileged.
