[Framers] Numbering conundrum

[Tammy Van Boening]

All,

I hope that I can accurately describe the issue that I am encountering w/ an
auto-numbered paragraph tag not being incremented properly.

I have a book with some Front Matter files such as the Cover, the TOC, a
Preface, and Copyright/Misc info. This book is the Admin Guide for a
software application that has 5 separate components to it. In the current
manual (the one that I have to overhaul), there are simply 5 separate
chapters for each component, so each chapter is significantly large and
unwieldy to navigate. I have to maintain a single manual still, but what I
want to do is divide the book into five sections, one for each component,
and then w/in each section, divide the currently lone component chapter into
multiple chapters. So, something like this:

All Front Matter files
Section 1
Chapter 1 
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Section 2
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3

I am using Groups in my Framemaker book to visually indicate the different
sections, where Group 1 is named Section 1, Group 2 is named Section 2, and
so on. Each group contains the following files:
A Section file
Chapter  1 File
Chapter 2 File
Chapter 3 File

In my Section file, I created two paragraph tags, which I imported into all
my files in the book :
SectionNumberBegin, with autonumbering set to S:Section 

RE: numbering conundrum

[Ridder, Fred]

Maybe Word's notoriously broken autonumbering is actually 
contagious!  Maybe it's mutating like avian flu to jump species?
It looks like I may have been more clever than I realized when
I used a Word-to-FrameMaker conversion process that stripped 
all autonumber and bullet formatting from Word documents 
before importing the content into FrameMaker.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

I had a similar numbering problem yesterday with one file out of 18 in a
book. (Must be the phase of the moon or something causing all these
numbering problems at once, huh?)

I'm using continued paragraph numbering in sub-chapter files.  All of
the
files in one section of the book worked except one.  No matter what I
did,
the first heading in that file stayed at 0.1 (heading text).  It should
have
been 4.7 (heading text)  Retagging did not work, nor did re-importing
all of
the formatting parameters into the file.  Copying the text into a new
doc
also did not work.At that point, I assumed there was something
hidden in
the text that was causing the problem.  The only solution I could find
was
to delete the first heading, manually reenter the text, and retag the
heading.

So, my question to the list is:  What can cause a heading to become
corrupt?
I forgot to mention that these files are imported from Word.  But
remember,
all of them worked except one.

Thanks,

Diane

I had this problem too. To solve it, I turned on all conditions and
paragraph tags. I noticed that on the section that wasn't numbering
correctly, there was a weird symbol. So I converted the heading to Body
tag, saved the file, then re-applied the proper style. It fixed the
problem.

I have created a tag named SecID to identify sections in my book
chapters.
It is set to autonumber according to the following format: S:Section
<$chapnum>\=<n+>\sm. I have this tag set to start at the top of page and
I
auto-apply a Custom Master Page to the page that uses this Section ID.
This page is named SectionDivider. For sections 1 through 3, it is
working
just beautifully - I get a page with Section 7-1, a page with section
7-2
and page with Section 7-3.  Now, all of a sudden, when I go to apply
this
tag to a page, the numbering is being reset to 7-1 and it won't change.
After counting beautifully to 7-3, all I get no matter where I apply
this
tag after Section 7-3 is Section 7-1. I don't get 7-4, 7-5, etc. and I
am
beyond stumped. If I had messed with the paragraph numbering to restart,

then ALL the tags should be appearing as Section 7-1, but like I said,
7-1
through 7-3 is working as expected.

Help  - I am stumped and I don't know how to begin to troubleshoot this.
I
swear I am working with Word numbering!

Nope, no overrides (thanks for prompting me to check this) and it's all in 
a single file. I have just back-tracked and cut out everything between the 
good Sec 7.3 and the bad  Sec 7.1, then inserted a Sec ID tag after 
the good Sec 7.3 and voila, I get a Sec 7.4, so it's something in this 
stretch of documentation, altho' for the life of me, I can't figure it 
out. Anyway, in between the 7.3 and 7.4, I am pasting, one paragraph at a 
time, the cut material and seeing when I get the 7.4 to flip back to 7.1 - 
then I know which paragraph, for whatever reason, is causing me fits. I 
can't think of anything else to do.

In your initial mail, you said that you were numbering on 'S'. 's' and 'S' are 
not the same numbering thread: numbering thread numbers are case-sensitive.

numbering conundrum

[rebecca officer]

Maybe you've got another tag using the S: series and that other tag resets the 
numbering, and a paragraph uses the other tag after section 7.3. To see if this 
is the problem, change the S: in your SecID to another letter that you're sure 
no other scheme uses.

RE: numbering conundrum






What happens wne you insert another one after the second 7.1 (the
incorrect one)?  Do you get 7.2 or yet another 7.1?

Make doubly, triply sure that the numbering formula used for the offending
paragraph(s) uses the same series label--a capital S.  Series labels are 
case-
sentitive, and if you inadvertently start a new series (say a lower-case s
instead of a capital) it will naturally and correctly start again at 7.1.

Harro, Steve, Lester, Darrel, Fred, Daniel, et. al, 

Thanks for all of the responses. The cut and paste method ultimately 
worked - a table seemed to be the offender, but for the life of me, I 
can't figure out why - I did not use any autonumbering in any of the table 
cells and I couldn't find any weird/buried tags in it - so, I deleted the 
table and recreated it from scratch and now I get Sec numbering reset as 
expected after the table. Like I said, there was no rhyme nor reason to 
it, but the solution worked.

Again, thanks for all of the questions, input and offers to troubleshoot 
the doc.

 Nope, no overrides (thanks for prompting me to check 
this) and
it's all in a single file. I have just back-tracked and cut out
everything between the "good" Sec 7.3 and the "bad"  Sec 7.1, then
inserted a Sec ID tag after the good Sec 7.3 and voila, I get a Sec 7.4,
so it's something in this stretch of documentation, altho' for the life
of me, I can't figure it out. Anyway, in between the 7.3 and 7.4, I am
pasting, one paragraph at a time, the cut material and seeing when I get
the 7.4 to flip back to 7.1 - then I know which paragraph, for whatever
reason, is causing me fits. I can't think of anything else to do. 


One more suggestion: check your text flows. The numbering may restart
because the text flows aren't connected, or because you're using two
flows.

numbering conundrum

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

Have you tried MIFfing the file and study the part there after 7.3?
Maybe you could find something in there.

But this is why I am in favor of nested numbering, like:
<$volnum><$chapnum>< >< ><r+>, etc. (note the space between the brackets).

Say you have a five level numbering, starting with the volume number,
you can reset all counters at the volume level (the volume heading
paragraph tag) -- except the chapter number:
<$volnum>< =0>< =0>< =0>, that is if you expect any numbering (e.g.
numbered lists) before the chapter number (highly unlikely).

In the chapter heading you also reset the counters:
<$chapnum>< =0>< =0>< =0>

You would then for e.g. a first level list set the numbering to:
<A+>< =0>< =0> (resetting the second and third level list counters)
For the second level:
< ><n+>< =0> (resetting the third level list counter)
for the third level:
< >< ><r+>.

Now let's say that you want to change from your S: counter to this
system. The order is not necessarily dependent on the level (unless
you are using the full numbering system in the levels beneath the
SecID), but I suggest that the SecID would be the first counter after
the <$chapnum>.
But want in to add it to the nested system without going to all the
list numbering level tags. Then you just add the fourth counter and
always leave the others empty when you use it. It could look like this
in order to get the 7.1, 7.2, etc.:
<$chapnum>< >< >< ><n+>.
If this is a thrid level item, the only thing you would have to do in
order to get this to renumber is to add the fourth counter to the
volume and chapter level tags:
<$volnum>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>
<$chapnum>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>.

Of course it woud be a better procedure to set it to a "proper" level
and do the necessary changes in the other levels, but this would work.

Clear as mud?

RE: numbering conundrum

[Gillian Flato]

I had this problem too. To solve it, I turned on all conditions and
paragraph tags. I noticed that on the section that wasn't numbering
correctly, there was a weird symbol. So I converted the heading to Body
tag, saved the file, then re-applied the proper style. It fixed the
problem. 


Thanks,

Gillian Flato

I have created a tag named SecID to identify sections in my book
chapters. 
It is set to autonumber according to the following format: S:Section 
$chapnum\=n+\sm. I have this tag set to start at the top of page and
I 
auto-apply a Custom Master Page to the page that uses this Section ID. 
This page is named SectionDivider. For sections 1 through 3, it is
working 
just beautifully - I get a page with Section 7-1, a page with section
7-2 
and page with Section 7-3.  Now, all of a sudden, when I go to apply
this 
tag to a page, the numbering is being reset to 7-1 and it won't change. 
After counting beautifully to 7-3, all I get no matter where I apply
this 
tag after Section 7-3 is Section 7-1. I don't get 7-4, 7-5, etc. and I
am 
beyond stumped. If I had messed with the paragraph numbering to restart,

then ALL the tags should be appearing as Section 7-1, but like I said,
7-1 
through 7-3 is working as expected.

Help  - I am stumped and I don't know how to begin to troubleshoot this.
I 
swear I am working with Word numbering!

thanks,
