Re: Overrides
Being compulsive and also having had an excellent trainer (Sholom Peretz), I never use manual overrides for formatting. But I have noticed that when the last word (right before the pilcrow) has a special character format, the pgf name is shown with an asterisk . This asterisk, of course, signifies a format override for that specific paragraph. If I leave a blank space between the last word and the pilcrow, the asterisk does not appear. Why does this issue bother me ? 1) I don't like a perfectly good pgf, with no overrides, displayed as if there are overrides. 2) Leaving a blank space between the character formatted word and the pilcrow is not a good workaround because spell checker picks it up as extra space and that adds many more mouse clicks to the workday.

RE: Continuous figure numbering skips a chapter
Responding to Peter Kelly, Art Campbell wrote: In the book file, when you highlight all chapters except the first one, right-click and select Numbering, then pick the Paragraph tab, is Continue Numbering the active choice? If not, make it so, save (and save any files that are open), and update the book. Peter's description indicated that his table numbers *were* continuing across chapters, and that only way that can be true is if the book's numbering properties are already seto to Continue. His real question was why figure numbers and table numbers are behaving differently, and that must be because they are implemented differently in the chapter files. If the goal is to have all numbers restart in each chapter, the solution for Peter is simple: follow Art's procedure but set the Paragraph numbering properties to Restart insted of Continue. If the goal is to have all of the numbers be continuous, then Peter must delve into his chapter files to find out what paragraph format is resetting the numbering series used by the figure captions and remove that interaction. If some numbering is continuous across chapters, any resetting can only be the result of an explicit reset, such as a =1 building block in the first instance of a figure caption or a non-displaying =0 building block in some non-caption paragraph (e.g. a chapter title). -FR __ EMAILING FOR THE GREATER GOOD ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
