Hi there,

I'm try to figure out how to make a numbering like this:

1.

2.

3.

A.

4.

5.

6.

B.

4.

5.

6.

How can I tell my numbering to start at specific number, in this case a 4.? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Greetings.

In your example, the numbered list doesn't actually start at 4, it just continues after a differently numbered item.

In the document structure, you should have some way to tell which items belong to the 1,2,3 sequence and which items belong to the A,B,C sequence. In the same way, EDD formatting rules can apply the correct format. To keep the items apart, you could use different elements for the items, or an attribute.

For the paragraph autonumber format, you'd have to use two different sequences, for example:

1,2,3 sequence: N:<N=1> for the first item and N:<n+> for all others

A,B,C sequence: A:<A=1> for the first item and A:<A+> for all others

Hi Johannes,

but how do I tell FrameMaker to continue the numbering serveral times. When I have something like in my example FrameMaker continues with a 4. after the A. but not start continue with 4. after the B. It keeps counting so that it continues with a 7. after the B.

Greetings.

You'll have to include series labels, as in my example above. I've chosen "A" as the series label for A,B,C,... and "N" as the series label for 1,2,3,...
