Ummm... If I have a paragraph that wraps to 8 lines, I get how it would
number the top line, but how does it number the other 7?

Hi Tori,
After sending my note, and before deleting the test file, I also placed the
CellNumbered paragraph tag in place of body text paragraphs between tables.
The numbering and renumbering were consistent inside and outside the tables.
This might be applied to Headings and other paragraph types. I see no problem
with applying the Autonumber Format to other paragraph tags, including all
paragraph tags within your documents.
This was just a wild suggestion that I meant to stimulate ideas. It works in
FrameMaker-9.

Subject: Re: Line numbering tables in FM11?
Client wants *every* line across the whole book to be numbered
contiguously. Having the cell numbers out of step with the others would
not be acceptable.

Hi Tori,
You said:
Sooo... just popped $400 to upgrade to FM11, solely for the line
numbering. However, we're working on a set of engineering specs that
contains many huge tables, and Frame isn't numbering any lines in the
tables.
Is this just the way it works? Or am I missing some setting that would
add line numbers corresponding to text in tables? This is a killer issue
for this project, and it Frame can't do it we'll have to resort back to
our previous method of putting hard-coded line numbers on the master
pages -- which client doesn't like because then every page has the same
numbers.
Your description of line numbering in tables did not describe how you are using
those numbers. My writing group uses a paragraph tag set that we named
CellNumbered1 and CellNumbered.
We are on FrameMaker-9 with Windows-7.
The critical part of building of the Autonumber Format is as follows:
C:<n=1>.\t
and
C:<n+>.\t
I tested these just now with three successive tables. I added CellNumbered1 to
the top cell of a column and then added
CellNumbered to several cells below in the same column and in multiple columns
within a table.
I continued the CellNumbered tag in the following table.
In the third table, I returned to the use of CellNumbered1 to the top cell of a
column and CellNumbered to several cells below.
The numbering of the paragraphs was as expected whether the additional
paragraphs were within a cell or in separate cells. The numbering continued
across tables and was restarted as expected.
If your requirements are different, perhaps you could give more details of your
needs.
