David's suggestion is accurate, but sadly irrelevant to Cynthia's problem. The chapter numbering properties David refers to only apply if the heading numbering uses the $chapnum system variable. The numbering scheme Cynthia outlines uses the older style of numbering that uses autonumber counters for all digits in the section numbers rather than using $chapnum for the first digit.
What Cynthia needs to look for is rogue paragraphs that increment the first counter in the "S:" numbering series, possibly without actually displaying any numbering in the text of the document. Unfortunately, that process can be extremely tedious, particularly if there are a lot of paragraph styles in the catalog or if there are a lot of paragraphs that have overrides since the numbering properties of each of these has to be examined individually. All of which is an additional good reason for using the $chapnum variable rather than a counter for the top-level numbering. Of course, that presupposes that every top-level section is contained in a separate file, because the $chapnum variable can only have a single value in any given file; the variable con only increment from one book component file to the next. -Fred Ridder > Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 04:59:03 -0700 > From: dspreadb at yahoo.com > Subject: Re: Pgf numbering strangeness > To: framers at lists.frameusers.com; cynthia.milton at serco.com > > Cynthia, > Is the book numbering set the same for all chapters, except chapter 1? > Chapter 1 should have the chapter numbering set to start at 1. > All other it should be "Continue Numbering from Previous File in Book". > > --- On Thu, 9/30/10, Milton, Cynthia <cynthia.milton at serco.com> wrote: > > From: Milton, Cynthia <cynthia.milton at serco.com> > Subject: Pgf numbering strangeness > To: framers at lists.frameusers.com > Date: Thursday, September 30, 2010, 5:36 AM > > > Classification: SERCO-PUBLIC > > Run out of brick walls. > > > > FM9 p255, XP SP3 > > > > Single-file doc with four Sections.
