I am having a chapter numbering problem with Framemaker 7.0. I have been using Framemaker for about four years now and have never encountered anything like this.

One of the books I generate insists on numbering the chapters 1, 5, 9, 10, 6, 4, 3, 14. This obviously isn't correct. Here are the things I've tried already:

1) Set the numbering properties to "Continue numbering..." for chapter, page, and paragraph for each chapter file.

2) Ensured the ChapNum style reads A:Chapter <n+>

3) Rebuilding the book.

4) Rebuilding each chapter file by cutting and pasting the contents of each into a fresh file.

5) Reimporting the template styles.

6) Building a book with four copies of the chapter template, and it numbered them 1, 6, 6, 6. So the problem could be in the template? But every other book that uses these templates numbers itself just fine.

7) Setting the numbering properties to Chapter number 2, 3, 4, and so on. The book then numbers them as all chapter 1.

8) Checked the paragraph flow to see if it's setup correctly. It is.

9) Converted the fm files to mif, and checked for hidden text or anything else that could seen "weird." I didn't find anything.

10) Asked a coworker it on his machine. We both got the same results.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what else I could try? Or what might be the problem? I've downloaded all the updates to Frame 7, but that didn't help any either.

The only thing that did work was to manually adjust each ChapNum template's numbering to A:Chapter <n=2>, A:Chapter <n=3>, A:Chapter <n=4>, and so on. It's a yucky fix that I'll have to do for the release, but I'd like to find out what is really going on.

Thanks!
