To me that's just making extra work for myself and anyone else who
ever works on the project.
In the bad old days, you couldn't put a whole book in a single .fm
file because you'd run out of memory or disk space.

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
Thanks!

I'm sure you know that an all-in-one numbering scheme can be de-mystified
by documenting it on a reference page. I'm also sure you've tried it. So,
have you found any drawbacks to this approach, other than the problem of
getting other users to refer to the reference page? Not implying there's
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
I dumped the chapnum approach around 15 years ago since I found that
with FrameMaker 7 was no longer any need to worry about running out of
memory. In my later FM projects I put all the chapters in a single .fm
file.

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,

Hi Teresa
How are you planning to turn your structured Frame files into ebooks?
If I understand things right, it'll be the same process as you'd use for
unstructured Frame. Does the process work better if your files are structured?
If not, I'm really having trouble figuring out what you'll

Easiest thing would be to go to FM's help and either do a search on paragraph

The translation must be done in Word, so I will need to convert from Frame to
Word, and this caused huge linking problems between the Word files the last
time I did it with multiple Frame files in the Frame book.
Having one Frame content file, though it is not ideal for me,
You simply can not use the $chapnum variable for this - it can only have
a single value in any one file.
So you have to redesign your numbering scheme to use standard counter
building block, such as n and n+.
Depending on how other items number, for example, are heading in the
