hi. I am learning FM12. I learned how to create a chapter title with numbering for the first chapter by creating this new format C:Chapter <$chapnum>

This formatted the first chapter correctly as Chapter 1. However, I am not sure how to apply incremental numbering for chapter 2, etc. When I attempted to apply my newly created chapter format (which i named Chapter Title) to my second chapter, it numbered it as Chapter 1. What am I missing here? Thanks,

Hi. Thanks. However, this did not resolve the problem. Questions: what is the correct/best way to begin a new chapter? Is there an ''insert'' function to begin a new chapter? Do I need to be in a ''book'' document for the chapter numbering feature to work? Thanks.

Each chapter should be a new FM file. Use the Book file to keep the chapter files together in the desired sequence. Set all of the numbering and pagination properties at the Book level.

Hint: Don't use file names like Chap1.fm, Chap2,fm etc. because inevitably, some of them will move around. Use semantic naming like Introduction.fm, Overview.fm, Maintenance.fm, etc.
