1. Re: autonumbering
Art Campbell Jan 22, 2010 12:43 PM (in response to xauthor)The numbering that you've specified on the Master page is invalid because only tags in an actual text stream can be incremented by tag-based numbering. It just won't work on a Master page.
To get it working, you need to change the contents of the header text container on the Master page to use system variables directly.
Probably something like:
<$chapnum>.<$paranum[SectionTitle]> <$paratext[SectionTitle]>
... assuming that you have the paragraph based numbering in the SectionTitle paragraph tag turned on and working.
Remember to save the chapter file before updating the book.
If it works in one of your chapters, you can then File > Apply Formats > Page Layouts to ripple the set up from your test file to the other component files in your book.

2. Re: autonumbering
xauthor Jan 22, 2010 2:53 PM (in response to Art Campbell)Thank you. I've tried this but it is still not working. I'll try a few other things before I ask for additional help. I've placed
\tSection <$chapnum>.<$paranum[SectionTitle]> <$paratext[SectionTitle]>\t #
in paragraph definition named righthead and then used that paragraph definition in the header on the master page. After saving and updating the book, I get
Section 1.<$paranum[SectionTitle]> <$paratext[SectionTitle]> 1
That is, the chapter number get replaced as does the beginning folio but the other variables are not replaced.
I have tried messing with Running Head variable and have had some partial success.

3. Re: autonumbering
xauthor Jan 22, 2010 7:58 PM (in response to xauthor)I've got this working by using Running H/F 2.
I did not realize I needed to build Running H/F 2 from the elements. I thought you could just type, say, <$paranum> in the header but that did not work for me. Selecting <$paranum> from the variable list and having that inserted into the header worked fine.

Art Campbell Jan 23, 2010 1:23 PM (in response to xauthor)As I mentioned in my first reply:
"To get it working, you need to change the contents of the header text container on the Master page to use system variables directly.
Probably something like:
<$chapnum>.<$paranum[SectionTitle]> <$paratext[SectionTitle]>"
Paragraph-based numbering won't work in this situation, as you've discovered....
