Hi Anirae! If I read your message corrrectly, you want to have the figure numbers (and possibly also table numbers) increment? from 1 within each major section of the chapter containing them, and not interfere with or be altered by possible multiple levels of sub-sections.? The major section does reset them to start at one again.
For this to work, the figures, tables and headings will have to be in the same numbered series (e.g. F: or H:) but you also need to use placeholders - the empty building block < > (which does not alter, nor show the value) - for counters that should not be affected. One suggestion is to create a grid of your numbering needs, so you can more easily see where you need to use the various types of numbering building block - display only (e.g. <n>), incrementing (e.g. <n+>) or ignoring (< > and note the space between the less-than and greater-than symbols) Here is how I would setup your formats, assuming only three levels of headings (as per your example).? I've added a counter for tables as well, so there are 5 total numbering positions. H:<n+>??????????????? 1 Heading (increment 1st level heading, reset all lower-level numbers: figures, ???????????????????????????????? tables and sub-headings) H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 1-1 (show current heading #, increment figure #, don't change table or ????????????????????????????????? sub-headings) H:<n>< >< >.<n+>????? 1.1 Heading (display current heading #, don't change figure or table #, ?????????????????????????????????? increment 1st subhead and reset lower sub-heading) H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 1-2 H:<n+>??????????????? 2 Heading H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-1 H:<n>.< ><n+>< >< >?? Table 2.1? (show current heading #, don't change figure #, increment table #, ????????????????????????????????? don't change sub-headings) H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-2 H:<n>< >< >.<n+>????? 2.1 Heading H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-3 H:<n>< >< >.<n>.<n+>? 2.1.1 Heading(display current heading #, don't change figure or table, ???????????????????????????????????? show 1st subhead and increment lower sub-heading) H:<n>-<n+>< >< >< >?? Figure 2-4 and so forth.? As I'm not completely clear on how you are using either the $VolNum or $ChapNum variables (or corresponding numbering building blocks,) I have not shown those, and trust that this example will get you on the right path fairly quickly. ?

The hang of it is returning, but I have a strange auto numbering issue. Hope you can help. The figure numbering for the chapter breaks when I add auto numbered figures and tables. Several files in the book. Each file is actually its own manual, and I want the book to see each as a volume (Vol 1, 2, 3, etc.). That's working OK. I want each file to start with chapter t after the preliminary pages (Title page and TOC). The Book is set up as follows: 1st file : Volume: #1 Chapter: #1? (If I make this Read from File it doesn't change anything) All other files: Volume: Continue numbering from previous file in book. Chapter: Read from File Headings are H:Heading1, H:Heading2, etc. If figure format is H:Figure<sectionnum>\t<n+>, I get: 2 Heading 2.1 Heading Figure 1-5 Figure 1-6 1.6 Heading Figure 1-7 really messed up If figure format is F:Figure<n>\t<n+>, I get: It does not recognize Heading 1 as <n> but Heading numbers are not influenced by inserting numbers, but the figures do not adopt the section number: 2.3 heading Figure 1-3 Figure 1-4 2.3.1 Heading Figure 1-6 If figure format is H:Figure<n>\t<n+><>.\t (as suggested by a post from some sight), I get: 1 Heading Figure 0-1 Figure 0-2 2 Heading Figure 0-3 2.3 Heading Figure 0-4 2.3.1 Heading Figure 0-5 What should I do to get: 1 Heading Figure 1-1 1.1 Heading Figure 1-2 2 Heading Figure 2-1 Figure 2-2 2.1 Heading Figure 2-3 2.1.1 Heading Figure 2-4 and so forth Thank you!
