Help, Autonumber chapters in Frammaker 5.5 ...
In FrameMaker releases prior to 6, chapter auto-numbering can only be done with paragraph-based auto-number formats, in combination with the book window and File > Generate/Update. (FrameMaker 6 introduced the <$chapnum> book-wide building block, although the older method also worked.) For detailed information on auto-numbering in FrameMaker 5.5, consult the online help, user manual, and search the archives of frameusers.com, and the Adobe.com FrameMaker User-to-User forums. Also, search Google for framemaker tutorials.

You're correct! This suggestion applies to FrameMaker releases beginning with 6. HTH

RE: Help, Autonumber chapters in Frammaker 5.5 ...
Obvious question: How do I get Chapters to autonumber? (Files or chapters auto number for pagination OK (???) As one person indicated: Format->Document->Numbering and Numbering Dialog box comes up... But this Dialog Box only effects Page Numbering, there is nothing there for Chapter Numbering. Select Paragraph Designer->Numbering Tab allows setting of Chapter Title (and other defined headers) via drop down list box. So selecting Chapter, allows one to add building blocks such as to Chapter title formating to increment Chapter title (in Book file)...

You can do this at book level, by clicking on the filename then going to Format -> Document -> Numbering. Or you can open the chapter file, go to the same spot to set the numbering properties, then set the book-level properties as "Read from File". In either case, all chapters except the first need "Continue from previous file". What I can't remember is whether 5.5 has a "Chapter" tab in the Numbering dialog, or whether it's all done from the "Paragraph" tab. Grope around in that general direction, and you should find what you need. Michael Lewis --- Brandle Pty Limited Sydney, Australia --- -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
