Subject: Section Number Grayed Out in Book

In response to a query as to why the Section Number is grayed out in book 
numbering I offer the following.
Frame added a System based Section Number and Sub-Section Number with Version 9.
This is also when they enabled hierarchical  books, with folders and groups. 
Unfortunately they tied the two functionalities together.
The Section Number is enabled only at the 2nd level of hierarchy, and 
Sub-Section only at at the 3rd.
Try it. Build a book, create a folder and drop a file into the folder. You will 
then be able to set Section Number, but will find the Chapter Number grayed out.
The same is true for the Sub Section number. Make a 32d tier and you enable 
Subs, but gray out Section and Chapter.
This is logical enough, but as we build our books customized through code, this 
destroyed the potential to use Section Number for us. We have been using Volume 
as a workaround for many years, and must now still do so. adobe, are you 
listening? Give us the option.
