Hi Joseph, It appears you are using the pre-FM6 method of chapter numbering. I say this because I don't see the <$chapnum> variable in your autonumber strings.
Here's the solution for the Appendices, and the same logic will also fix your chapters. Replace your <A+> with a <$chapnum> and then control both the incrementing and the formatting of that system variable via the Numbering properties. (Easiest to right click on one or more selected chapters in a book file & choose numbering. -Matt ________________________________ Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training 714 960-6840 714 585-2335 cell /txt/sms skype: mattrsullivan http://www.grafixtraining.com http://blogs.roundpeg.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/mattrsullivan http://twitter.com/mattrsullivan http://twitter.com/roundpeginc -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Joseph Lorenzini Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 8:02 AM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Odd Numbering Scenario Hi all, I am experiencing an odd problem with numbering. I have two types of chapter numbers: appendices and regular chapters. The appendices are numbered by letters (A, B, C, D) and the regular chapters are numbered numerically (1,2,3). L:<n+>.<n=0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< >< >< >< >\t A:Appendix <A+>:< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< >< >< >< > In all my books, I have all frame files set to "Continue Numbering from previous chapter in book". Since they are different number series, they shouldn't affect one another and in all but one of my books they do not. In one of my books it seems to matter and I don't know why. My first appendix starts at "D" instead of "A". Its as if as there's two appendices preceding this first framemaker file but I know there is not. Any ideas on what's going on? I can do a quick fix by simply restarting the chapter number on that file but I am curious as to why this would occur in the first place.
