<<cough>>it's a 470-page, multi-chapter book, with a ton of generated files, numbered headers 8 levels deep, and ~320 tables. I don't think so.
A sample chapter generated using Rick Quatro's scripted solution (generate line numbers via a FrameScript before PDF-ing) has been reviewed by the client and judged as "better than Word, because the table text is now numbered, too". While Rick's solution does require adding an extra step to our pre-PDF routine, the whole book can be done in a few hours of implementation time, plus a quick run of the script. Thanks to all who have been contributing ideas, it's been great seeing so many of Frame's capabilities I didn't know about!
