I did mention that my numbering was for books (meaning Frame books), since that is where chapnum works. Naturally, I would approach an all-chapters in one document differently than a multi-chapter/document job, but I reserve the all-in-one doc files for smaller documents. As they say, to each

Winfried,     I agree with you about avoiding chapnum, etc. You are correct that using counters is more flexible because it allows multiple chapters, sections, or volumes to appear either in separate documents or grouped into one. Furthermore, I find using counters easier to maintain since

Just to clarify when I said "unnecessary" in Frame--I meant for MY workflow experience. I like all my numbering schemes to be labeled independent of each other--it keeps the code simpler for each style and it makes it easier to add deeper levels to each style group. I label my tables and figures

My method/two cents... You can put the chapters in a book as usual. You can put those books in a master book to control the volume numbers--or if you just have a few volumes you can set volume number manually in each book. You can include the volume number where ever you want--such as x-refs,
