I am using one autonumber thread to control stuff that needs to flow through a
book. I just wanted to check that in this case, i.e. paragraph number threads
not reset between chapters, there is no alternative to creating a separate
n=0 paragraph clone for all the numbered paragraphs.

I have a very short book (about 180 pages) that is multiple chapters but
is currently a single Frame file. I'd like to keep it as a single file,

numbering and page numbering if things are in a single file.

Rick,
I thought you could do this in the EDD, and you can, but it might depend
on the type of attribute. Search the Structure_Dev_Guide for default
attribute. I only got seven hits. Most of the hits are concerned with
the DTD, but there is a comment that keeps popping up In FrameMaker, a
default

No slick trick that I'm aware of, Bob.
If you need to change numbering format (roman vs. arabic vs. alpha),
you need to have a file break at that point.
If you're using the $chapnum (and/or $volnum) system variable,
you must have a file break wherever that number needs to increment.
You can
I have a structured book with about 10 chapters. I want the first

Hi Bob:
You don't have to break the book into separate chapters for
chapter/appendix/figure/table numbering. That can be handled by setting up
the paragraph formats to work together. Some examples are online at
http://www.travelthepath.com/autonum.html .

Stacie,
If I read your message correctly, you have copied the updated master
pages from one file to the rest by selecting the other chapters in the
book window and then using the File Import Formats dialog to copy
the Page Layouts to all the other files.
But what is not happening is having the
You can define a default value for an attribute, but as far as I know
the process of importing an EDD won't change an attribute value from one
thing to another. The default value is just the value of the attribute
if it has no other value applied.

Hi Rick...
You're right .. these default values that you can define in the EDD,
are not as useful as one might hope. They aren't exported to XML and
they don't seem to have much purpose. However, the FDK (and I believe
the EDD itself) can read the default as a value. So a plugin or

Hello Framers,
I have a client that wants to know if it is possible to "set all attributes
to default values when the EDD is imported". I suspect that the answer is
no, but I am pretty sure that it can be done with a FrameScript script.
However, I don't want to propose a script if it can be

Hi Steve,
No apologies necessary: that is what the list is for. Well, it's actually
for complaints, gripes, etc., but FrameMaker questions are acceptable once
in awhile.
The best method depends on how different the structure is from one EDD to
another. Here are some possible methods.

As you point out, "the only good answer is to break the book into
separate chapters."
If you don't want to take an hour or so to do that, you could probably
spend a day or so kludging work-arounds to solve the problems you want
to solve. For instance, you could substitute a hand-crafted numbering

Select all files in the book but your first chapter and use File >

Select page layouts (and whatever else you want to import) and go for
it. That gets the master pages into each chapter file.
