building blocks for numbering

Thanks Arnis,<br />in this case I`m using FM 7.2 on XP<br /><br />The paragragh format numbering string is very simple <$chapnum>.<n>.<n+>.\t<br />or at least so I thought...<br />I already checked the numbering properties of the document in question to see if there was anything that could have an impact on that but didn`t find much.<br /><br />I also thought that blocks didn`t have a ceiling, but as per the way they`re behaving in my document is kind of weird to me.

Roberto,

What version are you working with?

However, that shouldn't be happening unless something is resetting the counter.

Assuming it isn't being unintentionally reset by another tag in the series, the first thing I'd check is that there's enough room for two digits in the paragraph tag.

I've seen some numbering setups that used tab stops to position the digits in the xx.xx.xx string, but only granted enough space to display one numeral -- the second was there, but hidden.

Roberto,

Autonumber building blocks keep incrementing until they are reset, so
it shouldn't stop at 9. Check your paragraph tags prior to the reset
for culprits.

Also, if you could post the string that you're using for the
autonumbering and your FM version, it might help in case there's an
alternate (easier) way of creating your sequence.
