Help!!!! Urgent Framemaker page numbering problem

hi there,

 

i have make last minute update old project have in framemaker. i've never used before i'm clueless!!

 

problem have book, consists of several chapters, each of seems have .fm extension.

 

i need build pdf , page numbers in flow chapter chapter. problem i'm having right chapter 1 ends on page 10 , chapter 2 begins on page 13!

 

this wouldn't bad if inserted couple of blank pages in pdf, doesn't number goes out of synch!

 

in main page area lists .fm files, i've right-clicked on chapter 2, selected numbering , selected continue numbering previous file in book, pressed set. doesn't make different though!!

 

also chapter 2 ends on page 18 , chapter 3 begins on page 21 isn't right.

 

i need document finished today, if pls really appreciated!

ok, first theory: book file critical. container holds , controls formatting of chapter files.

 

if open component files outside book, they'll contain page number may inaccurate because you're working outside book environment.

 

so first, confirm problem: in book file, click update icon. you'll have dialog bos asks if want regenerate toc , other generated files. click yes.

 

then, open chapter file(s) check page numbering. suspect either chapters have intervening page or have pagination set open on right side page , blank page or 2 being generated force -- , either problem can make numbering appear you've described it.

 

check in @ point , let know looks like....

 

cheers,

art
