When I was a trainer, I always showed the FM outline template example files
in class, alongside the numbering pane of the paragraph designer. IOW, we
went to the source.
IIRC, web searches for FrameMaker auto numbering find good examples.

In addition to Lynne's excellent explanation, I'd like to add that while
you can leave the trailing placeholders out of your autonumber definitions,
it is generally recommended that they be used so that you have a visual
reminder of how many characters are included. This becomes really important
I'm so sorry, Lin. My parents always told me that Lynn could be either a

1st Level: L:< =0>\t
2nd Level, Reset: L:< >\t
2nd Level: L:< >\t

If you look closely, you'll see that the building blocks for the numbers
(the "upper" level) are in the first set of brackets and the building block
for the letters (the "lower" level) are in the second set of brackets. This
lets you use the upper level to restart numbering for the lower level and
Debbie,
Lin's example uses some options in FrameMaker's counter support
that you didn't mention in your post:
1. Different sequences. If a paragraph's autonumber starts with a single
character followed by a colon, it uses counters that are independent of
those in other sequences. One
