Page Numbering for the Clueless N00b -- FrameMaker 7

Question

Hey gang,I've got a fairly simple FrameMaker 7 document (one file, 94 pages) that requires page numbers to follow the Chapter No. - Page No. format (e.g., 3-2). Two issues occur: 1) the chapter number stays at 1, and 2) the page number increments by one when I need it to restart after every new chapter.My paragraph tags are like this:ChapterTitleHeading1Heading2, etc.I think I've identified a disconnect: the heading numbering is as follows (thanks to Deborah Snavely for explaining the matrix approach): < =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< >< > where n+ is the heading number, followed by four subheadings. The last two bracket sets are for figures and tables, respectively. I set the page numbering in the master pages as follows: <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum>. Chapter/paragraph numbering works as advertised, as do figure and table numbers. How do I change the page number variables to match the chapter number and restart the page numbering?Regards,-terry-

You need to set the appropriate numbering behaviours in the book file for each of the chapter files.

Highlight a file in the book file.
Right-click to get the context menu.
Select Numbering...
Set the Chapter and Page numbering tabs to behave as required.
