RE: Straight-through numbering in FM book

2013-03-14 Thread Reng, Dr. Winfried 
Hi Nancy,

I do not use the $chapnumvariable as it could happen that
several chapters are in the same FrameMaker file. However,
numbering with separate counters and numbering series isn't
difficult.
My numbering settings are:

heading1: H:n+ =0 =0\t
heading2: H:n.n+ =0\t
heading3: H:n.n.n+\t
instructiontitle: I: =0
instruction1: I:n=1\t (not needed, if you guarantee that all authors use 
instructiontitle ...)
instruction: I:n+\t
tabletitle: T:Table n+:
figuretitle: F:Fig. n+ =0:
figuretitlelabel: F: n+\st-\t (for the paragraphs in the figure title which 
explain the numbered labels)

If you want that your tables and figures use the first counter of the
heading numbering, then they must be in the same series and the
heading numbering must have three additional counters (if you do not
need numbered labels in your figure title, then only two). These are
reset to 0 with heading1:
heading1: H:n+ =0 =0 =0 =0 =0\t
heading2: H:n.n+ =0   \t
heading3: H:n.n.n+   \t
tabletitle: H:Table n+ =0 =0n+  :
figuretitle: H:Fig. n+ =0 =0 n+ =0:

Don't forget to update the book after you changed
the numbering.

And I also think that you have a character format defined
in your autonumbering string. A hyperlink starts from a
change in the character format to the end of this character
format. I do not know whether hyperlink should mean
that this text appears or only the area where the hyperlink
is active.

Best regards

Winfried

 Hi, all.

 I've switched from chapter numbering to straight-through numbering in a
 FrameMaker document. I'm using FM 10 in a Win 7 environment.

 Dropping the Chapnum from the page number setup on the master pages
 was the easy part. Here is what I haven't been able to do:

 --Renumber figures and tables so they autonumber consecutively through
 multiple chapter files. They restart at 1 with each chapter. Even the
 FrameMaker-supplied Book template has this problem!

 --Keep my cross-reference formats from breaking. Specifically, the hyperlink
 breaks. See Figure 3-1 where Figure 3-1 is a hyperlink becomes See
 Hyperlink Figure 3-1. Why does changing the autonumber format affect
 the cross-reference?


 Please feel free to explain all this in detail, but also, please feel 
 especially
 free to email me the autonumbering sequences that work for you for figures
 and tables!

 Thanks!

 It's been years since FM has driven me this crazy . . . .

It sounds like you've chosen to avoid the $chapnum variable, in favor of the 
system used prior to FM5.5.

If so, you'll want to use series labels and long numbering strings to do what 
the book file lets you easily control.

And note that the Continue... option is only available when you set the 
numbering with the book as the focus. If you are in an individual chapter, the 
Continue... option is not presented because it has no relevance. Only the 
book knows how chapters are strung together so that's the only place where 
Continue from Previous Chapter is meaningful.

Matt provided the answer to this. Just a reminder: Set all numbering properties 
from the book window (with appropriate files selected), not in the chapter 
files. 
 
 --Keep my cross-reference formats from breaking. Specifically, the hyperlink

 Hyperlink Figure 3-1. Why does changing the autonumber format affect the

I'm not sure what you're saying. But Hyperlink looks like a character 
format specified in the x-ref format definition. The only reason that would 
suddenly appear as text in your xrefs is if the Hyperlink character format no 
longer exists in the document. 
 
 Please feel free to explain all this in detail, but also, please feel
 especially free to email me the autonumbering sequences that work for you for
 figures and tables!

For continuously numbered figures (once you set each chapter to continue 
paragraph numbering as Matt explained) not tied into any other numbering 
sequence, Autonumber Format can be quite simple: 

F:n+ 

Add whatever you want following the autonumber and before the caption -- colon 
and space, tab (\t), etc. 

For tables, do the same thing, but with a different series label (F for figures 
and T for tables makes sense to me, but you can use what you please): 

T:n+ 
 
One other issue you're likely to encounter (if you haven't already) is the page 
numbering in generated lists (TOC, LOF, LOT, Index). For each of these, you'll 
have to remove the $chapnum variable (and whatever punctuation is associated 
with it and no longer needed) from the list specification in the reference 
pages.

I'm a big fan of using the same series label for both figures and tables. It makes things

To keep your figure and table numbering from restarting, select the files in 
your book, right-click and go to Numbering. From the Paragraph tab, set to 
Continue from Previous Chapter

Straight-through numbering in FM book

2013-03-13 Thread Fred Ridder 

And note that the "Continue..." option is only available when you set the 
numbering with the book as the focus. If you are in an individual chapter, the 
"Continue..." option is not presented because it has no relevance. Only the 
book knows how chapters are strung together so that's the only place where 
Continue from Previous Chapter is meaningful.

I've switched from chapter numbering to straight-through numbering in a 
FrameMaker document. I'm using FM 10 in a Win 7 environment.

Dropping the  from the page number setup on the master pages was the 
easy part. Here is what I haven't been able to do:

--Renumber figures and tables so they autonumber consecutively through multiple 
chapter files. They restart at 1 with each chapter. Even the 
FrameMaker-supplied Book template has this problem!

--Keep my cross-reference formats from breaking. Specifically, the hyperlink 
breaks. See "Figure 3-1" where "Figure 3-1" is a hyperlink becomes See 
" Figure 3-1." Why does changing the autonumber format affect the 
cross-reference?


Please feel free to explain all this in detail, but also, please feel 
especially free to email me the autonumbering sequences that work for you for 
figures and tables!

Thanks!

It's been years since FM has driven me this crazy . . . .

Matt provided the answer to this. Just a reminder: Set all numbering properties 
from the book window (with appropriate files selected), not in the chapter 
files.

I'm not sure what you're saying. But "" looks like a character 
format specified in the x-ref format definition. The only reason that would 
suddenly appear as text in your xrefs is if the Hyperlink character format no 
longer exists in the document.

For continuously numbered figures (once you set each chapter to continue 
paragraph numbering as Matt explained) not tied into any other numbering 
sequence, Autonumber Format can be quite simple: 

F: 

Add whatever you want following the autonumber and before the caption -- colon 
and space, tab (\t), etc. 

For tables, do the same thing, but with a different series label (F for figures 
and T for tables makes sense to me, but you can use what you please): 

T: 

One other issue you're likely to encounter (if you haven't already) is the page 
numbering in generated lists (TOC, LOF, LOT, Index). For each of these, you'll 
have to remove the <$chapnum> variable (and whatever punctuation is associated 
with it and no longer needed) from the list specification in the reference 
pages. 

HTH!

I'm a big fan of using the same series label for both figures and tables. It 
makes things so much easier to find. See this document, "The case for simple 
numbering:"
