The problem is that you're referring to the chapter heading by two different building blocks!
What you should do is this: Take for instance, the Appendix title paragraph tag AppendixTitle. You set its autonumber to "Appendix <$chapnum>:\sn". For all figures, you set the figure paragraph tag FigureTitle to F:Figure <$chapnum>-<n+>:\sn The *trick* is to set your document *numbering* properties. Open the book, highlight the first appendix, and select Format > Document > Numbering from the main menu. On the chapter tab, *set Chapter#: to 1 Format: ALPHABETIC(N)* This will force the first appendix title to start with "A". Ensure that on the Paragraph tab, you select Restart Paragraph Numbering. This will force the first occurrence of any paragraph tag in the file to start at 1. The building block <n+> will work for Figures. I only use <n=1> or its equivalent for list numbers or other places where I want to re-start the numbering within a file. You should set succeeding appendix files' Format > Document > Numbering > chapter tab to be Continue Numbering From Previous File in Book. That will increment the Appendixes correctly.

I'm not sure I catch your meaning, though. The first appendix in the book is fine. We do use Numeric chapter numbering for the appendixes. For our *second* appendix in the book, which has the title "Appendix B:", The Chapter heading autonumber format for the Appendix is: A:Appendix <A+>:\sn Our pagination for this appendix is set to: Chapter: Continue Numbering from previous file Format: Numeric (14) But, the unruly table heading autonumber format F:Figure <$chapnum>-<n=1>:\sn results with the table increments starting at a numeric. E.g., Table 19-1 when in fact we want the table to be: Table B-19 I'm probably missing one small setting or something, but I'm a tad it baffled. Do I not have my pagination set correctly, or am I doing one of the autonumbering formats wrong?
