This is a commonly wished for feature that FrameMaker doesn't support. If you describe the actual details, we might be able to kludge a method (e.g., run-in heading containing a Ref Page placement of the variable in a text box plus some leading tricks, followed by the autonumbered format using "Next Pgf").
Details? David -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Can a variable be used in a numbering scheme in Frame V8? From: Lisa Freeman <lfree...@oneil.com> Date: Fri, May 03, 2013 7:52 am To: "framers@lists.frameusers.com" <framers@lists.frameusers.com> Hello All, I have structured books in FrameMaker version 8 (customer requirement) and am having difficulties when trying to create a numbering scheme. Here’s the situation: The incoming data is xml given to me as Sections. My read/write rules and EDD create a book at the Section level and FM files for each SubSection within. I have an attribute at the SubSection level that I am using as a variable running header/footer on my master pages. This works wonderfully for the headings, page numbers, etc. I am trying to figure out how to use that same variable on the Body pages within an autonumbering format. I am finding lots of ways to use the variable within the text of the body pages but nothing about using it in the autonumber format. Is this even possible? If so, can someone please point me in the right direction? FYI – I do have control of the EDD, read/write rules etc., and can ask for changes in the xml tagging scheme provided to me. Thank you in advance for any ideas you may have!
