The mistake you are making is trying to apply autonumbering to the paragraphs in the TOC. The <$chapnum> variable can only have one value in a given file, so is you use it in autonumbering in the TOC, it will always display the same value.
What you need to do is specify that FrameMaker should pick up the numbering that is applied to each chapter in the book, and that is done in the prototype entries on the "TOC" reference page of the TOC file. If you use the <$chapnum> variable in the prototype for the chapter-level TOC entry, each entry will pick up the value of the <$chapnum> variable as set for each chapter file. Similarly, if you are using paragraph numbering in your chapters (e.g. section numbering, tables, figures), you would have FrameMaker pick up the numbering that is actually used in the book by specifying the <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> building block in the appropriate prototype entries in the reference pages of the appropriate generated file (TOC, LOF, LOT) rather than using local autonumbering in the paragraph formats of the generated file.

This is probably an easy fix for many of you. I have a book containing several chapters, and those chapter numbers update just fine when I choose update book. However, when I generate a TOC, each chapter # on the TOC is numbered 1. Here is some data that might be helpful diagnosing this: In the TOC, the autonumber format of the chapter level paragraph format is: S:<$chapnum>\t Under Format/Document/Numbering for Chapter 1 only: * Use Same Number as Previous File is selected for Chapter 1 only (since TOC precedes it) Under Format/Document/Numbering for each other chapter file within the book: * Continue Numbering from Previous File in Book Under Format/Document/Numbering for the TOC: * Chapter # 1 [is manually selected] Your help would be greatly appreciated! I know a workaround, but I'd rather get it right.
