RE: FM9 Figure and Table Title Auto-Number Errors
In my response to Alison's numbering query, I included one bit of real stupidity. We corresponded off-list about it, but I thought I'd better correct myself on-list before I confuse someone else. The problem is in this part: > > If it matters, my Appendix heading style (Heading1App) is "A:Appendix > > :" and my Appendix Table styles are as follows . > > > > Table#A 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+: > > Table#A+ 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+: > > The "" in the heading style means use upper-case alpha numbering -- > it's the old way of doing things and works fine in this instance.

Umm ... yes, you do still need separate Heading1 and Heading1App pgfs. The <$chapnum> variable will take care of changing "1" to "A," but nothing's going to automagically change the hardcoded text "Chapter" to "Appendix." Oops. (My excuse is that our template uses the same pgf tag for both because its autonumber contains only the <$chapnum> variable, no text string. So I didn't think...) Sorry 'bout that! I'll slink away now and call it a week... Richard Richard G.

The problem is that chapter numbering isn't set properly for the appendices. In the book window, select the first appendix, right-click, and select Numbering. In the Numbering Properties dialog, select the Chapter tab. Set Chapter # to 1 and Format to ALPHABETIC (N). Then click Set. Verify that in subsequent appendices, Chapter is set to Continue Numbering From Previous File in Book. Then update the book, and everything should be fine. > After 3-1/2 years, I still don't have any Figures in the Appendices so I'll > cross that bridge if I come to it at some in the future. > > If it matters, my Appendix heading style (Heading1App) is "A:Appendix > :" and my Appendix Table styles are as follows . > > Table#A 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+: > Table#A+ 1 6A = U:Table <$chapnum>\+: The "" in the heading style means use upper-case alpha numbering -- it's the old way of doing things and works fine in this instance. But I'd make it consistent with the rest of your numbering settings and replace "" with "<$chapnum>" so it's numbering is controlled by the Chapter numbering settings, as I described above. And if you do that, you won't need a separate Heading1App for appendices -- Heading1 will work just fine because the <$chapnum> variable will have the appropriate value for whatever book component it's in. The information about numbering in the user manual (and help) does a pretty decent job of explaining this stuff. HTH! Richard Richard G.
