When you say "count work packages," does that mean you want a list of them all, or just the total, the work-package number as part of each TOC entry and as part of each index entry, or something else? If I understand your request correctly, this could work for you: If you've defined the TOC-suffix paragraph formats with autonumber formats, then the numbers reflect exactly what you describe - each TOC entry counter is influenced by its predecessor. * For the TOC: to capture the source paragraph's autonumber, in the Table of Contents Specification on the TOC reference page, find the example line for the workpackage paragraph - something like workpackageTOC. Add the building block <$paranum[workpackage]> before the <$paratext> building block and regenerate from the book file. TOC entries will capture the workpackage paragraph's autonumber for each occurrence of the workpackage paragraph throughout the book. Add the <$paranum[workpackage]> building block before <$pagenum> on every example line whose entry you want the workpackage number to precede the entry. * For the index: to capture the workpackage autonumber for every index entry, add <$paranum[workpackage]> before <$pagenum> of the IndexIX example paragraph in the Index Specification on the index reference page and regenerate. As far as I know, there's no way to capture the autonumber for a specific index level (Level1IX, Level2IX, etc.). It's all entries or none.

Hi Harold, The $paratag[FormatName] building blocks work in cross-references, but they don't work in indexes or tables of contents.

Earlier message was: Dear Framers We are entering a $paranum for both TOC and index (IX) entities. It works, however, it applies the most recent autonumber format not the one specifically assigned to the paragraph tag. Hopefully more clearly stated: We are trying to count work packages (chapters-files)(WP 0001 etc) using a specific autonum assigned to the WP Number paragraph tag. This tag is at the beginning of each document. The problem that we are encountering is that any autonum occurrence that is previous to the TOC tag or IX marker is reflected in the respective generated files instead of the WP Number assignment. The autonum counters , etc. work. That is not the issue. We want the WP Number assignment to carry into the TOC and IX as opposed to any autonum occurrence that happens to be previous to the TOC tag/IX marker

Assuming you're using FM6 or newer, why not use the Chapter Number variable (<$chapnum>) or, if that's being used for something else, the Volume Number variable (<$volnum>) instead of pre-FM6 autonum counters? See the manual chapter (or help topics) on TOCs and Indexes for info on editing the TOC and IX flows to include one of these variables in the generated files. It's fairly straightforward. For instance, in the ref page IX flow, there's an IndexIX pgf that contains the page number variable (<$pagenum>). To index by work package instead of page, replace that variable with <$chapnum> or <$volnum>, whichever you decide to use for the work package numbering. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.
