So you'd apply the "minor" Variable format--essentially a single Variable which is embedded in the Running H/F--to each part, after you handle whatever is done book-wide with the "major" Variables (in your template or another stripped blank). ...Or this one, if you're on FM9: > [I don't have/use FM9+, but it seems like setting the parts up as > books-in-a-book would let you access other Numbering properties > (Section, Sub-Section).
