Error,
I still can't get figure numbers to continue but I did determine the following behavior.
If I set numbering of a chapter via the book file to this:
Chapter: Continue numbering
Page: Continue numbering
Paragraph:Continue numbering
and then update the book file with Edit -> Update References, then heading numbering continues from the previous chapter (for example, chapter 3 starts with heading 3.6) but figure numbering restarts at 1.
If I reset numbering of a chapter via the book file like this:
Chapter: Continue numbering
Page: Continue numbering
Paragraph:Restart numbering
the heading numbers immediately revert to 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and the figure numbers remain at 1, 2, 3.
This is too frustrating. I can't spend any more time trying to figure this out so I'm going to switch to a <$chapnum>-<n+> format for figure numbers (and probably for tables too). I used to use that format at another company. At least it gives the user a clue as to what chapter the figure is in.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Yours,
Michael F
