Hi,
I created an autonumber format for a p.fig style (Figure {n+} ).

I've applied the p.fig style to the captions of my figures in several topics.

When I generate PDF output, the autonumbering starts over in each topic (e.g., Topic 1 has figures 1 and 2, Topic 2 has figures 1 and 2 instead of ...

Thank you! My content was indeed too large to display in the frame.

Hi,
I'm working with a page layout based on Flare's Normal template.

I'm trying to add text to the header. Here's what I'm doing:

Thank you, Laura!

I did draw two frames on both my left and right page layout pages, and I do see the arrow connecting the frames. Help says:

"If you have drawn two frames of the same type on a page (e.g., two body frames) an arrow connects the frames, showing the direction that content flows from ...

I have a small Flare project (11 topics) that I want to output to a two-column PDF file.

I've set up a Page Layout file to which I've applied two columns in the body frame. I've created a TOC with my topics in the order I'd like them to appear in the PDF, and I've assigned my Page Layout file ...
