Bug - incorrect numbering a file in a book

2006-12-07 Thread David Schor
Peter, Double-check the chapter numbering properties for the specific file in the Book. In the Paragraph tag, the selected setting is probably "Restart Paragraph Numbering." Change it to "Continue Numbering From the Previous Chapter In Book." HTH, David -- David Schor Senior Technical Writer RA

I am struggling to find a way to make an anchored frame span more than one column of a multi-column layout. If I set the frame uncropped, it messes with the text flow (the text threads to adjacent columns above the figure, which is not what I want), and if I set it cropped, half of it disappears

Try setting: * Your Anchor para tag pagination to "across all columns." * The Body (or whatever) tags just above the Anchor tag to "Keep With Previous" para. This should prevent them from jumping into the next column. Art On 12/7/06, Steve Rickaby wrote: > I am struggling to find a way to make

Hi Simon, You are right, except if one or more of the lists is empty, it short-circuits everything. Rick Hi Rick. Unless I greatly misunderstand you, I believe you just need a series of nested loops, driven by a series of string lists. The rough algorithm is: New StringList NewVar(vlFirst);
