All guess why numbered chapters that increment OK in FM11 not after conversion to the FM12?

All guess why numbered chapters that increment OK in FM11 not after conversion to the FM12?

I run FrameMaker unstructured 12 and FrameMaker 11 (for use with only the heritage project files) on a Win7 PC. The chapters in my FM11 file book for guide increment a new product user normally in FM11, but something bad, after you save the formatted FM 12 FM 11 project files.
The book file includes:
-Product Guide Cover.fm
-Product GuideTOC.fm
-Product GuideLOF.fm (list of Figures)
-Product GuideLOT.fm (list of Tables)
-Product GuideContent.fm (chapters 1-10) - book files dialing properties: Chapter 1 (digital)
-Product GuideIX.fm (Index) (Chapter 11) - book files dialing properties: Chapter 2 (digital)

Note: The chapter headings (e.g. 1 - Introduction, 2 - Specifications and so on) in the product GuideContent.fm and GuideIX.fm files are in the format paragraph Designer like: (the Auto-Numbering Format enabled) H: < n + > \t
However, when I update the book, the Index seems formatted as Chapter 1 instead of Chapter 11. It seems that the conversion to FM 12 messed autodial in the product file GuideIX.fm, so that the only way to increment the value would be to manually update the building blocks in the file to H: IX.fm \t H: < n + > < n = 11 > \t (which I do not). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ran,

It's for anyone finding the subject, given that you and I come to chat with a screen sharing...

After watching your files, the "chapter number" are really only section numbers, with all 10 of them in the same file FM. That means that really impossible to use the <$chapnum>for many of them and the index.

In most cases, you would be still able to use the Fm 5.0 manually counting technique paragraphs title with an indicator of the series and the counter (e.g. H:), but you also have a number of positions within blocks of text not included in the stream.

This seems to be your address update index position correctly.

So, the only way to get the appropriate index number is to control it manually. You have at least 3 choices:

  1. Enter it manually
  2. Manually enter the AutoNumber box for the index
  3. Enter it manually in the numbering section of the dialing properties tab.

However, all these things are extra bandages on top of your existing bandages, and I prefer to see the problems resolved instead of the 3 'Hacks' I have provided.

For the sake of closure, please check the question if this seems to be specific for you.

Sorry for the bad news (ish)!

-Matt
