I suggest dropping all the building blocks tied to chapter file
breaks. It eliminates a source of potential errors. I just put
everything in one .fm file.

alphabetic <$chapnum> SOLVED

2013-10-21 Thread Yves Barbion

Hi Fred

You are correct (as always): I was misled by the user interface. So, no bug.

By the way, I'm using FrameMaker 11.

Thanks

Yves

alphabetic <$chapnum>

2013-10-21 Thread Scott Turner

One thing to watch for is that all styles that use this numbering stream have 
the exact same number of placeholders. Otherwise you may encounter numbering 
discrepancies.

The instance you show makes me a bit nervous since the <$chapnum> variable is 
in second position.

alphabetic <$chapnum>

2013-10-21 Thread Yves Barbion

Hi group

The autonumber format for my chapters is:

N:Chapter\ < ><$chapnum>:

I want to number my chapters alphabetically, so I set the chapter numbering
properties in my book to "Fomat: Alphabetic (N)". This works as long as I
restart my chapter numbering (Chapter #: 1). When I select "Continue
numbering from Previous Chapter in Book", however, I get "numeric (14)"
numbering again.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks

2013-10-21 Thread Fred Ridder

You don't say what version of FrameMaker you are using, but I can confirm that 
both FM8 and FM9 behave in a way that is consistent with what you describe.

However, I think you are slightly misinterpreting what you are seeing. When you 
set a chapter to "Continue from previous", the expected thing is to increment 
the value of the numbering by one number/letter. But the command *also* sets 
the numbering format to match the format of the chapter of the preceding 
chapter. If the first chapter is set to numeric, then *all* the chapters that 
continue from the previous chapter will inherit that numeric format. If the 
first chapter in the string is Alphabetic, then all the chapters that follow 
the numbering sequence in the "continue" chain will also inherit the Alphabetic 
format. 

If you need to change format starting at some point in the book (when changing 
from chapters to appendixes, for example), you must also specify the value to 
use for the chapter where the format changes. But once you've done that, all 
chapters that are in the following "continue" string will both increment from 
that new value and use the new numbering format, whatever it happens to be.
