How are you placing the figure numbers? Are they in a separate flow from
the main flow? I don't remember for sure if this affects autonumbering,

Thanks, Lester -- I spoke to Rick Quatro just a little while ago about
this, and you have confirmed what he was able to show me: that the
paragraph/text range setup in the EDD may provide the key to the
problem. I appreciate both of your help!

How is your EDD setup for the Ref element and its sub-elements? Are
they defined as paragraphs or text ranges? Do you have inherited
formatting, or do you specify defined paragraph and/or character styles?
Because formatting is the realm of the EDD, it is more far more

Jim,
Maybe try creating a new book that only contains the Chapter 4 files
and test in that. That should let you see if the problem is coming
from within Chapter 4 or from an earlier chapter.

This has been my experience, too. I find it terribly annoying because
I've designed my templates specifically with some paragraphs that are
blank.
Typing text into the paragraph makes the next paragraph feature work.
Leaving the paragraph empty simply repeats the current paragraph tag.
