Re: [Framers] Autonumber/autoincrement independent of paragraph style?
Sound like that would work, but that solution was obscured by the way the original question was framed. Knowing what the use case is helps reframe the question. However, footnote insertion just indicates a point in the text. Maybe applying a Conditional Text attribute to the range of text could be used, allowing the reviewers to see what the citation needs to cover. If you require a number for each range, that could be done by post-processing the conditional text markers.

Re: [Framers] Autonumber/autoincrement independent of paragraph style?
If it were one-to-one you would be correct. However, there are cases where there is uncertainty as to how many citations are needed, e.g., multiple paragraphs or a section where it could be appropriate for a single overarching citation or multiple granular citations, which depend on context, which the group has to determine. I suppose I could use the empty footnote as an autonumber indicator along with inline comments to provide context as to what is needed. Also, now that I think about it, it would be helpful to have the citation needed numbering sequence NOT be the same numbering sequence as footnotes, as other edits could add/delete footnotes beyond this specific list of citations needed, at which point the numbering gets thrown off electronically compared to everyone's on-paper records of the peer meeting. -Original Message- From: Framers On Behalf Of David Artman Sent: Monday, July 17, 2023 2:50 PM To: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software.
