Using AUTONUMBERING
If you need to number paragraphs, or precede all paragraphs of a type
with the same text, then you should choose the Numbering properties
options in the paragraph format window.
To specify the numbering, click in the box below "Autonumber Format"
and type in the text or choose the appropriate numbering scheme. If
you want to number the chapters, section, subsections, figures, etc.
according to the same numbering scheme you should use formats as
follows:
Paragraph Type Autonumber Example
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chapter <n+> 1
Section <n>.<n+> 1.1
Subsection <n>.<n>.<n+> 1.1.1
Figure* <n>< >< >.<n+> 1.1
Table* <n>< >< >< >.<n+> 1.1
* The < > are brackets with a space between them, this is extremely
important to remember, as empty brackets without the space will cause
misnumbering.
The basic "building blocks" of numbering include n (arabic numeral), a
(lower case letter), A (upper case letter), r (lower case roman
numeral), and R (upper case roman numeral). As demonstrated above,
building blocks with "+" increment with every new example of that sort
of paragraph, while building blocks without the "+" are constant. A
building block set "=1" resets the numbering to 1.
The thing to note is that for every number added in the row, Frame
thinks of it as a new column to begin numbering. When you want to
reference that number, you need to place the appropriate entry in the
same column. The reason there are "blanks" in the figure and table
entries, is so that the section and subsection columns are not
incremented. Note that you may also wish to include text before or
after the autonumbers, just simply type them in the box in the
appropriat space.
You can also change the format of the characters in the autonumber.
For instance, you may want to have Figure # in bold, but the actual
caption in regular type face. To do this, just choose the appropriate
Character Format option in the Numbering options.
Finally, you can specify where the numbering should appear in relation
to the paragraph. You can specify the number to be at the beginning
or end of a paragraph. The most common use for a number to be at the
end of a paragraph is equation numbering -- when you want the equation
number to be on the right side of the page opposite the equation.
