    Could also be some Variable/Autonum/Xref etc. on a Master Page.

    Thanks to all. No luck yet. I think its embeded in the code. I'll keep searching and post if I find the answer.

    You could save the in FM's interchange text format with File > Save As > MIF (Maker Interchange Format.) MIF is plain text code that can reproduce a FrameMaker file exactly, when opened in FM. However, to examine the text, you need to open it in a text editor, even MS Word, so you can search for CHAPTER within the text. You won't understand what you see, but when you find CHAPTER, copy a few lines of the chunk of text before and after it, and paste it into your response here. Others on the forum can help you to find the CHAPTER in the actual FM file.

    Opening a MIF file with FM recreates the file from which the MIF was saved. To open the file in FM as plain text, hold Shift while performing the File > Open operation. Then, you can use FM's Edit > Find to find CHAPTER. DO NOT SAVE THE MIF TEXT FILE.

    … or in the Numbering properties for the heading style, though I expect you would have noticed that, or in the cross-reference definition? Happy hunting!

    Probably is hiding on a Reference page in a definition - just a guess without more info
