Hi

 

I  have  a document  which  I divided into two volumes.

I want the   chapter numbers in the  second volume to follow the numbering from first voulme.

 

First volume ends with Chapter 8.

Volume two when I update it, it  starts automatically at Chapter two.

 

How do I renumber it so it start at number 9.

 

Many thanks

    Check your Format>Document>Numbering settings in the Book menu (you can right click on the documents too.) This can be done within the documents, but a Book file would be a better workflow.

    In the Numbering Properties dialog box, set your first document to start at chapter 8 under the Chapter tab (top setting).

    Set the second document to Continue Numbering from Previous Chapter in Book.

    Save the documents.

    Update the book.

    Many  Thanks  Dave

     

    This is the first time I use Framemaker after a break of three years.

    I am still on an old  version. There  is  no upgared  avialable for  FrameMaker 10.  Adobe  wants me to  buy the  new version...too pricey  for  a retired  person like me.

    Joe Hus: I am still on an old version.

    Which old version? It sounds like it was one of those then still available with a perpetual license. Some contributors here also have old versions, and can tailor their suggestions to the historical capabilities.

    re: Adobe wants me to buy the new version…

    The recent versions have been subscription-only. You can't really "buy" them.
