Hi, all.
(Using FrameMaker 8.0p277 on a Windows XP Pro SP3 system.)
I am currently using the following autonumbering format to increment a counter
for certain paragraphs:
R:22.4a-<n+>
This works well for my needs.
However, the "22.4a" is actually the version number of the book (happens to be
a technical specification). When I update the book (which can happen often), I
use a variable to update the content as needed. Very simply, I have a variable
called "RevNum" which is set at the book level - using the wonderful BookVars
tool from Leximation - to hold this value.
My problem:
I would like the above autonumber format to also change when I update the
variable. I see constructs such as "<$chapnum>" available, but I cannot seem to
use a user variable "<$RevNum>" like this:
R:<$RevNum>-<n+>
to get the outcome I am looking for (when RevNum is set to "22.4a" ... and
works great with other text locations).
Is there any way to do this cleanly and easily and automatically, so that I do
not have to go edit the paragraph format each time and update the autonumber
format? Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here?
