Hi, I'm soliciting the 2 cents from the pros before I'm getting myself into trouble, and I apologize for the long post. I'm using Frame 7.0 on Mac 10.3.9. and no FrameScript. I have a book with the following structure:
Title TOC LOF based on 2 paragraph tags with the same numbering tag LOT based on 2 paragraph tags with the same numbering tag LOP based on one paragraph tag for 'Boxes' in the document Abbreviations Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 and 8 ?For chapters 1 through 8 the numbering of chapters is only in the paragraph numbering, not in the numbering definition of the book. Chapter 7 and 8 are still in one file. ?Headings are numbered 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 ?Figures and Tables are numbered with separate tags, continuously throughout all 8 chapters ?Some figures are split into panels numbered 1a), 1b), but there is always one caption for the whole Figure. Appendix A ?Headings are numbered A.1 ?Figures and Tables are numbered A?1 File with more Appendix A, all in landscape format Appendix B References IX (1) This book has a numbering issue with anchored frames. The numbering setting is to continue the numbering from the previous paragraph in the book, and it is consistent in the book and in each document. However, this does not work when the first occurrence of the paragraph happens to be in an anchored frame. In that case Frame stubbornly restarts numbering for that paragraph / tag, and it happens for paragraphs containing any numbering tag. As soon as I enter the same paragraph format in the flow (somewhere before the anchored frame) the numbering continues correctly. Any ideas or workarounds? (2) In addition, I'd like to make a number of numbering changes. Maybe these changes should be done first, because it includes restarting the numbering in each chapter, which could make the issue detailed above obsolete. However, I'm not sure if there is any order in which I should tackle these changes. I'm particularly uncertain if I'm missing something about numbering definitions of the book vs. numbering in the paragraph format that could get me in trouble. ?> Introducing Parts should be the easy part: Part I: Chapters 1 to 3 Part II: Chapters 4 to 6 Part III: Chapters 7 to 8 I was planning to create a new paragraph tag and to include that in the TOC. ?> Change the numbering of Figures and Tables to Chapter?Figure or Chapter?Table, respectively, e.g. Figure?1?1. Thus the numbering restarts in each chapter. I've done the combined numbering in the Appendix, with a structure of empty brackets in the auto-numbering format, e.g. A:<A>.<n+>< >< >< >\t Should I do the same for the main chapters 1 through 8, or is there something that I'm missing about the chapter numbering definition of the book? Please note that I have multiple paragraph tags for Figures and Tables, so there are 2 numbering tags but 5 paragraph tags in total: Figure, FigureWithSource, TableTitle, TableTitleWithSource, and another paragraph tag for the Figures that are split into panels. The 'with source' paragraphs have a different spacing, ruler and 'next paragraph' property, because they are followed by a paragraph indicating the source. However, they are using the same numbering tag, so there are only 2 numbering tags, one for Figures and one for Tables. Also, the paragraph tag for split Figures with panels numbered 1a), 1b) uses the same numbering tag. However, these panels are not included in the List of Figures. The caption for the whole figure that gets into the LOF is either a paragraph Figure or FigureWithSource. Again, the goal it to change the numbering to Chapter?Figure or Chapter?Table, respectively. I guess that I can handle that with the correct structure in the empty-brackets-approach, where Figure and FigureWithSource have to use the same item in the list. To get the 'Figures with panels', I'll probably need another item in the structure. Again, the question is whether there is a better way of doing this, using the chapter numbering definition in the book? Is it possible to use a variable definition like <$chapnum> in the auto-numbering of a paragraph tag? ?> I'm also grateful for any tips how to make these changes across the book without FrameScript. ?> How bad is it to have 2 chapters in one file? I don't mind to split the file. I'm asking purely out of curiosity, and I already brace myself for the outcry this question might provoke. Last but not least, all these Lists of ? are taking up too much space. The closest that I could move them together is to start each file on the next available page. Is it possible to have all the List of Figures, Tables, and Paragraphs in one file but as three separate lists? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Dona
