As for the second, your LOF specifications (on the LOF's reference page) shouldn't use <$chapnum> at all. Assuming you have only one figure caption pgf format, FigCap, the LOF spec would include a FigCapLOF pgf that might look like this: <$paranum> <$paratext> ...<$pagenum> The first building block, <$paranum>, would pick up the figure number from each FigCap pgf (e.g., "Figure 1-1"). The second building block, <$paratext>, would pick up the text of the FigCap pgf (e.g., "Exploded view of widget"). That would be followed by a right tab, defined with a leader, and then the <$pagenum> building block to insert the page number. The details might differ for yours -- maybe you have punctuation between <$paranum> and <$paratext>, or no leader -- but the basics should be the same. You shouldn't be referencing <$chapnum> at all because the entire figure number -- the prefix "Figure," the chapter number, the dash, and the number of the figure within the chapter -- all come from pulling in the paragraph numbers of the FigCap pgfs, using <$paranum>.

Re: LOF not updating properly
First thing I'd check is the Reference page of the LOF file, to make sure that <$chapnum> is invoked correctly; that there aren't any typos in the string. Then, in the book file, look at the Numbering > Chapter settings for each chapter file to make sure they're set to increment and not to inherit the previous file's number.

RE: LOF not updating properly
Two obvious things to check: 1) Is each chapter in its own file? The $chapnum system variable only increments on file boundaries. 2) In the book file, have you set the Chapter tab of the Numbering Properties dialog to "Continue numbering from previous chapter in book"? My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel Fred Ridder Intel Parsippany, NJ From: "Gillian Flato" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Subject: LOF not updating properly Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 12:06:08 -0800 In my chapters, the LOF reads the <$chapnum> variable properly so my figures are properly numbered Figure 1-1...4-6 etc. But when I run my LOF, the figure number properly updates but the <$chapnum> does not so my LOF has Figure 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-1 (which should be 3-1) etc. Any ideas?
