I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of chapter text heading, e.g. Head1 is S:Section $chapnum.n=0 \t I have added the number manually to each heading in my chapter ToC, and to each heading in the chapter. Now what do I do to see each number preceding its heading in my book's ToC? Well, others have introduced you to the concept of $paranum and $paranumonly, which may be what you were missing (in the FM 6 User Guide, see pp. 346-350). But based on what you said, I'm wondering if that's the only problem: I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of heading in my chapter ToC, e.g. toc12 is $chapnum.n=0. What do you mean by chapter ToC? And what's toc12 -- the name of one of your heading paragraph formats? It's an odd choice of name (compared to, say, Head1), so I'm wondering what you really mean by paragraph numbering tag (there's no such thing; there are paragraph tags, or formats, and they may have an autonumber as one of their settings). I have added the number manually to each heading in my chapter ToC, and to each heading in the chapter. If that's really true, you're doing something seriously wrong. The whole point of adding an autonumber to a paragraph tag definition is so that it will -- you know -- automatically have a number. Are you really manually adding numbers? If so, you don't have autonumbers, and you need to read pp. 113-122 of the User Guide. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

Numbers in my book's ToC?
I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of heading in my chapter ToC, e.g. toc12 is
Numbers in my book's ToC?
On TOC reference page of the Table of Contents document, you can add the <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> building blocks to the xxxTOC paragraphs (e.g., Head1TOC) to extract the number of the specific item. For example, you might have the Head1TOC paragraph as: <$paranum>\ <$paratext>\T<$pagenum> (where "\ " is a non-breaking space and "\T" is a tab character) You won't see any change until you regenerate the TOC, but then the number as shown in the individual file will be pulled into the TOC for you.

In the reference page of the TOC find the code that looks like this: <$paratext> <$pagenum> Then add this to it: <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> where you feel it would do the most good :) Likely you'll end up with this: <$paranum> <$paratext> <$pagenum> or <$paranumonly> <$paratext> <$pagenum> To make it easier to ID the right code, try this: 1. format the type of paragraph to change in the TOC (for example, Heading1TOC) to color=magenta 2. in the reference pages (view > reference page) find the magenta code (see above) 3. modify the code 4. view > body pages 5. switch to the book 6. update the book 7. review the magenta output (if correct, change color back, otherwise tweak again) In a total and self promting way, consider getting Advanced FrameMaker (I have copies of the book) as there is a stellar, well thought out, well written, feature rich, intelligently designed (ha-ha) chapter just on generated files. Oh ya, I wrote that one :D Hope that this helps out...

It's just possible that Murray may be 'adding' the numbering to his TOC by defining autonumbers in the TOC's para tags, suggested by: > > I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of > > heading in my chapter ToC, e.g. toc12 is
