Figure Numbering Problem

I am working on a service manual using the client's template. I have run into a problem with the auto numbering of figures. The first 4 were numbered in succession, but each one after that repeats as Figure 4. The auto numbering format is F:Figure n+.  The figure numbers are set with a

To address the initial problem: The only repair I have found that works is to rebuild the files anchored frames from the point at which the numbering is broken. To be extra sure, rebuild them all. Save a copy of your file, in the working file delete all anchored frames, then with the working

Figure Numbering Problem

I have been writing a number of service manuals for my client. One problem I have been having is numbering figures sequentially -- some will, some won't. The command line for autonumbering in the client's template is F:Figure n+. For those that do not, I have to force the figure numbering,

Sounds as if it's a legacy document that was never changed to support the $chapnum and $volnum variables that were introduced in 6.x. Assuming it's using chapter numbers as part of the numbering scheme, of course, correct strings would look something like: F:Figure $chapnumn+. If you're not

Re: Figure Numbering Problem

A couple things to check: First, have you verified that no other tags are using the X: numbering track? Having another tag using the same track involved will screw up the numbering in no time. Second, check the numbering properties for the files to make sure that para numbering is set to

Hi, You said that your numbered paragraphs are in text boxes. Do you mean text frames? These won't be in the same text flow as your regular text. Therefore that might account for any pecularities. Best regards Winfried I am having a problem numbering figures in service manuals developed by

Re: Figure Numbering Problem

You won't like my answer, but it's the only solution I've found to the problem you describe. You need to make a copy of the file, delete all anchored frames, then open the copy and working file side by side. In the copy, use find to locate each anchored frame. For each anchored frame, create a

This may be being caused by having a mixture of graphic frames and anchored frames or text frames poorly placed in anchored frames. I use a similar system for academic books and reports. Graphics are placed in anchored frames with a text frame within it for the caption. In doing a limited test, I

Very strange. I should have done more testing. I swear that the only instance I checked before spouting off is the way I wrote. In rechecking, I found subsequent text frames in anchored frames didn't have flow tags. I checked another report and couldn't find any text frames in anchored frames
