Chapter-page Numbering (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, . . .) doesn’t work

To set up chapter-page numbering, do one of the following:

In FrameMaker 7.x or 6.0.x, use the <$chapnum> building block:

1. In the book window, select the first file listed.

2. Choose Format > Document > Numbering.

3. If you use Windows, click the Chapter tab. If you use Mac OS or UNIX, choose Chapter from the pop-up menu.

4. In the Chapter # text box, set the chapter number as it should precede the page numbering. (For example, if the file is chapter 1 and you want the chapter number and a hyphen to precede the page numbers, type “1-“. If it’s chapter 2, type “2-“.)

5. Repeat these steps for remaining files in the book as desired.

In FrameMaker 5.5.6 or earlier, use the Set Up File dialog box:

Note: You should avoid autonumbering for chapter-page numbering in FrameMaker 5.5.6 and earlier.

1. In the book file, highlight the first file in the list.

2. Choose File > Set Up File.

3. In the Prefix field, set the chapter number as it should precede the page numbering. (For example, if the file is chapter 1 and you want the chapter number and a hyphen to precede the page numbers, type “1-“. If it’s chapter 2, type “2-“.)

4. Repeat these steps for remaining files in the book as desired.
