Hm - I would have expected, from your description, something like 329/1, 329/2 as the second-level numbering; otherwise, there's no relation between the file-cards and their parent page. But that wasn't your question :-}

Could you post a longer description? I don't quite follow the relationship between file-cards and pages; for instance, do you need to have more than one page that uses the file-card numbering.

Ok thank you, I try. I have a techincal manual of 400 pages,
at the end I have a Appendix with 100 technical file-cards,
so the numbering is: from page 1 to 400 for the entire manual,
from 300 to 400 for the file-cards.

Every file-card is composed by about 10 pages
and have its own numbering, each page is numbered
like (1 of 10, 2 of 10 , CurrentPageOfThisCard of TotalPageOfThisCard)
and this numbering is in a little text frame on the page.

The first file-card is inserted after the page 299,
the second file-card start at page 310, the third at 320, etc..
So, for example, looking the second file-card, the first page of the card
Is at page 310 of the manual, the second page at 311 and so on.

The relation is only the position of the file-card in the manual.
I need to autonumber these two levels of pages.

I don't think it's a big deal.

For the high level book page numbers, just use the regular FM page numbering tools.

For the FileCard page numbering, because you're already separating it in its own text frame, just create a unique paragraph tag for it with its own numbering stream. You'll need to use two tags, one for the first page in each set to reset the stream, and a second one to increment. Se the Autonumber field to something like
   F:<n=1> of 10
for the first page/tag and
   F:<n+1> of 10
for the following pages

Note that the total PageOf number is typed in manually... without a Framescript, I don't think you can generate that automatically.

thank you very much Art, I'm trying but I'm newbie, in the master page when I insert autoconnected text frames in the different pages and then insert my fields F:<n=1>/10 and F:<n+1>/10 in the following pages,
I have no result but a series of 1/10, the tip works only if I put two texframes in the same page and then I connect them.

I have another question, if it's possible,
I found these topics about the problem
of the <$filename> extension in Framemaker..

Do you have the Postscript snippet yet?
Thank you,
