RE: [f2a] Variable on Master Pages.....getting them to talk

[Baruch Brodersen]

Eduardo,

You can achieve the desired effect by using a combination of these three
system variables:

Volume Number   <$volnum>
Chapter Number  <$chapnum>
Current Page #  <$curpagenum> 

First set up Document Numbering Properties like this:

1. Format > Document > Numbering
   a. Volume tab, in Volume # write 2H. In Format, choose Text.
   b. Chapter tab, Chapter #: 2. Format: Numeric (14)
   c. Page tab, Format: Alphabetic (N)

2. In the Master Pages arrange the variables thus:
   <$volnum>-<$chapnum><$curpagenum>

If that doesn't work for your setup you may want to consider hiring someone
to dig into the bowels of Frame and write a custom system variable for you,
assuming that's doable.

Best,

B a r u c h   B r o d e r s e n
T e c h n i t e x t   D o c u m e n t a t i o n

        Good evening all
        
        Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
        
        Standard Frame 7.2....WXP is the environment
        
        Master page...trying to create a variable which will amplify the
page
        number sequencing
        
        Here's what the numbering looks like now:
        
        2H-2 (this is actually page 1 because it follows another document,
so
        the numbering follows the preceding document)
        
        ............
        
        Here's what I want the page numbering to look like but don't know
how:
        
        2H-2A (there are reasons for wanting this....too many and it
involves
        trying to steer away from disconnected pages)
        
        Followed by....
        
        2H-2B
        2H-2C
        
        .....and so on
        
        Is there a way to add such a variable to the master page? I know
there
        must be.
        
        Thinking caps on....phasers on stun.....warp speed Mr. Sulu!
        
        Thanks to all
        
        Eduardo
