Hi, I need help with regards to the figure numbering in FrameMaker. I have preexisting styles for figures and I started using the figure style on the first document, but when I use the same figure style in the proceeding documents, the number restarts. Is there a way I can set the figure number to continue from the previous document in the book? Thank you.
Hi Dana:
Yes. It's fine if they start over in each document while you are still authoring/formatting the content.
But once they add them to a book, select the chapters in which you want the numbering to increment (click the first one, shift+click the last one) then right click > Numbering > Paragraph. Click Continue Numbering from Previous Paragraph in Book and update the book. (There are a lot of tabs along the top row in Numbering Options. Be sure to click Paragraph.)
This will continue all paragraph-level numbering. If you have other numbers that should not continue across files (lists, for example) they are told not to do this in the documents themselves.
