This allows one to number by type within chapters each of theorems, corollaries, lemmas, propositions, conjectures, facts, definitions, examples, problems, exercises, remarks and claims. Andrew -- Thanks Andrew. Yes, that's what I also thought, but this has no effect... Choosing [cid:image001.jpg@01D240B7.133551E0] and [cid:image002.jpg@01D240B7.133551E0] seems to give the same result. I don’t understand why. (Is it because the first selection says AMS, Numbered by Type, and the second one doesn’t mention AMS?) Anyway, depending on which choice I make first, not all choices are available. Example: with the latter of these choices (both Theorems (AMS, ...) and Theorems (Numbered by Type...)... · if I try to select Theorems (AMS, ...) first, option “Delete” is not available · so I have to delete the second option first, and then after that, I can delete “Theorems (AMS, ...)”. Likewise, module “Theorems (Numbered by Type within Chapters)” – which is really what I want – can only be added if I *first* add “Theorems (AMS, Numbered by Type)”... and then it doesn’t give the expected effect. Ideally, this is how I’d like it to work, without having to “hack” in the preamble... -- Thanks, Bernt
