Autonumbering figures in PDF output

[mel_w]

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 figures 3 and 4).

Did I miss a step? Thanks for your help.

you may need a "series" label before your format. here is an excerpt from the Flare help - "Series labels are prefixes to a format (comprised of one or two letters and a colon) that provide a way to limit numbering sequences for different purposes. Although Flare includes H: in the list of available commands, that is simply one example of a series label. The letter that you use as a series label is arbitrary. You can replace H and choose any letter of the alphabet, followed by a colon. The exception to this is a two-letter series label, in which the first letter represents a series that encompasses more than just one topic. For example, CH is an example of a series label that applies across an entire chapter. The H can be replaced with another letter, but you must keep the C in order to use this command. Finally, it's important to note that a series label must always be the first element in an auto-number format."

You're a wizard! Thank you so much. That was exactly what was needed...I used G (global) H.
