This forces it to wrap with minimal problems. Scott, I have checked this and found that the following steps are necessary: 1) The autonumber string ends with \t\b (where \b stands for a simple blank) - as you say. 2) The TAB must be a left tab and the position must be slightly left to the width of the text frame (e.g. 11.7 cm for an 11.8 cm wide text frame). This depends on the test size. 3) The paragraph text must start with a nonbreaking space. Without this the text is stuffed into a black blob at the end of the line. The paragraph style may be in the catalogue, since there is nothing strange in the style itself.

Actually .. one way I've seen this done is to use a tab followed by a space (the space is important) at the end of your autonumber string, then change the tab position for that paragraph style to be the width of your text frame. This forces it to wrap with minimal problems. ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892 Rick Quatro wrote: > Hi Egwin, > > You can't use these building blocks in an autonumber to get the effect > that you want.

Hi Egwin, You can't use these building blocks in an autonumber to get the effect that you want. You can use a bunch of spaces at the end of the autonumber to force the text to the next line, but that may have side-effects that you don't want. Or, you can use two separate paragraphs.

Egwin, An autonumber cannot contain a line break. Is your document structured? If so, you can put a line break in a prefix. --Lynne At 06:19 AM 11/8/2006, Egwin wrote: >Hello Framers, > >I work with FrameMaker 7.0 on Windows XP platform. >In my document i would like to autonumber like this: > >1. >xxx xxx xx > >2. >xxx xxx xx > >My autonumber format contains ".", but how can i generate the line >break. >I tried \n and \r but that did not work. > >Can someone help..? > >Thanks, > >Egwin >___ > > >You are currently subscribed to Framers as lprice at txstruct.com. > >Send list messages to framers at lists.frameusers.com. > >To unsubscribe send a blank email to >framers-unsubscribe at lists.frameusers.com >or visit >http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/lprice%40txstruct.com > >Send administrative questions to listadmin at frameusers.com.
