Hi, Art -- Thanks for all of these ideas -- all well worth checking.

The autonumbered paragraphs in Ch. 1 use only the A, H, and U numbering streams. * I created a FigTest format for Ch. 4 and assigned in a Q: numbering stream.

Re: Stuck on Figure Autonumbering in a Multi-Document Chapter
I've just tested this. For what it's worth, if your Figure Titles are not in anchored frames in the main flow (for example, if you've placed them in graphics frames containing text frames for the captions, or in text frames containing anchored frames for the graphics), the autonumbering isn't incremented from one frame to the next unless you manually link the frames into a flow.

RE: Stuck on Figure Autonumbering in a Multi-Document Chapter
Thanks to all. I think you probably nailed it as a flow issue, Jim. We inherited the document in which I was working from one of our offshore divisions, so it was not something we built and originated in house. I took the radical surgery approach, since the file was small. I left the new paragraph formats intact, but deleted all the pages in the chapter, began with a new first page, and rebuilt from scratch. Fortunately, this first subchapter had only 4 pages, so the task wasn't insurmountable. When I built the pages as we normally do, inserting the anchored frames beneath a thin line on the empty page, inserting the graphics into the anchored frame, putting the figure title as the next paragraph beneath and outside of the anchored frame, there were no numbering issues at all. I appreciate the help and insights from all.

Maybe, it's just Friday, but I've got a book that includes landscape pages with different sizes than the standard pages. Accordingly, the chapters containing the landscape pages are broken into separate files. I'm working on the first chapter, Chapter 4, where this is happening, and my autonumbering is giving me fits. My chapter numbers and heading numbers are working just fine across the multiple files, but my figure titles all say Fig. 4-1, despite my attempt to follow my trusty O'Keefe and Loring handbook faithfully. I don't have any tables in this chapter, so that's not an issue -- at least not yet. Here's the scheme: Bildtitel (Figures) F:Fig.\ $chapnum\+n+ \t Überschrift 1. Ebene (Heading1) A:$chapnum\t Überschrift 2. Ebene (Heading2) H:$chapnum.n+ \t Tabellentitel (Table Title) U:Tab.\ $chapnum\+n+\t Within the book, I have my numbering for this section of Chapter 4 as follows: Chapter -- use same number as previous file Page -- continue numbering from previous page in book Paragraph -- continue numbering from previous paragraph in book I've deleted all unused styles in these two document files, just to make sure there's no other paragraph format that may not be playing nice with my numbering. I suspect I'm missing something obvious. Hopefully, one of you will see it. Anyway, any help on this will be greatly appreciated
