Count me as also avoiding chapter numbers in books. I use the file's comments field (part of the file system metadata) to hold the chapter number. I can view this metadata in the Mac's file system and even sort on that field, so the book looks to be in order in the file system viewer (Finder). Renumbering that bit of information has no effect on cross references and the like. - web At 4:07 PM -0500 2/23/06, Bill Swallow wrote: >I specifically avoid chapter numbers in filenames *because* >re-ordering and re-use in another document/book is a strong >possibility. > >On 2/23/06, Doug <dbailey4117 at gmail.com> wrote: >> ...make FrameMaker save the chapter number as part of the filename? >> My book has 60 chapters, and I need to add another chapter right after >> chapter 29.
