Arnis,

Again, thank you for your time, patience, and knowledge.

Yes, I am not using autonumbering. I am editing a document that selectively references federal regulations. So the numbers in my document are not sequential. Your run-in paragraph suggestion seems like it would be an ideal solution to my problem if I were using autonumbering.

Following your suggestion, I created run-in headings and tagged headings as follows:

[Head2_2ndEdition]2.1[Head2_3rdEdition]201.1[Head2]-System
Administration

I deliberately excluded the separator in run-in paragraph definitons, and instead put the separator at the beginning of Head2 text.

After I hide text that is conditionally tagged "2nd edition" and "Head2_2ndEdition," only unconditional text, "3rd edition," and "Head2_3rdEdition" text is visible. Page headers look like this:

201.1-System Administration

Likewise, after I hide "3rd edition" and "Head2_3rdEdition" conditional text, only unconditional text, "2nd edition," and "Head2_2ndEdition" text is visible. Page headers look like this:

2.1-System Administration

So far, so good.

Unfortunately, after I show all conditional text, the FIRST page with a heading that looks like this (tags shown)

[Head2_2ndEdition]2.1[Head2_3rdEdition]201.1[Head2]-System
Administration

shows the 2nd edition number in its header: 2.1-System Administration.

The FOLLOWING pages show the 3rd edition number in the headers: 201.1-System Administration.

My problem . . . which is probably a special case beyond the scope of FrameMaker design.

Again, thank you for your extremely appreciated and very helpful knowledge and guidance, Arnis.
