Edwin, Instead of using the numbering properties for the paragraph, you can do this on a custom master page. If you don't already have one, create a custom master page and call it something like "FirstPageChapter". In the master page header, insert the "Chapter Number" variable along with any text you want on that line (such as "Chapter"). Make any other changes you want to adjust the margins of the page. Then apply the FirstPageChapter master page to the page with the chapter title.
For the table of contents, you'll need to modify the TOC reference page. Generate a toc and then view the TOC reference page. Assuming you are using a paragraph style called "ChapterTitle", look for a line that uses the "ChapterTitleToc" style. Before the <$paratext> variable, enter the "<$chapnum>" variable. You'll need to type this, instead of entering it via the Special menu. You can also enter text. For example, on of mine looks lie this: Chapter <$chapnum> )<$paratext> )............... <$pagenum> The ) indicates a tab. The page number is right aligned and the tab leaders are built into the tab. Mike -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of ETudsbery at cpaglobal.com Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 5:08 AM To: Framers Subject: Chapter title Hello Framers, FM 7.2 I'm designing a new template, and I would like a chapter paragraph style with the chapter number on one line and the paragraph text on the line below. Given that it's not possible to enter a forced return in the Autonumber format for the chapter paragraph style, I was wondering about the best method to achieve this. If I enter a soft return after entering the chapter paragraph style, this creates a soft return in the corresponding table of contents, which then has to be manually removed. So, I'm not keen on that. Is the best method just to put a lot of spaces in the Autonumber format box to force the paragraph text onto the next line? Are there any drawbacks (perhaps with conversion to PDF or online help)?
