I haven't used <$autorange> myself, but my reading of the Help file suggests that you're confusing FM by using page-related <$autorange> for a pgf-related purpose. The Help says "You can also have FrameMaker create page ranges for you automatically whenever the same marker text occurs on consecutive pages of a document." Note: page ranges, not paragraph ranges, and consecutive pages, not consecutive paragraphs. My guess is that paragraph 1734 is on the page following the page containing pgf 1717, and the marker text is the same. So <$autorange> inserts the hyphen and treats the pgf numbers as page numbers. IOW, I don't think you can use <$autorange> for your purpose. :( HTH, -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited Toronto, ON, Canada +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 srogers phoenix-geophysics com "In second mode, this utility also can provide You with independent ink monitor.
