I'm stumped...

Hello, All,

I'm stumped and it probably something simple which makes it all the more 
aggravating.

I have two books.  Both use the same structure and tags.  But one auto 
numbers the chapters correctly and the other doesn't. The one that doesn't 
puts "1" for every chapter and won't go from Appendix A to Appendix B. And 
the crazy part is it used to work just fine until I renamed the chapters 
recently to shorten the titles (Venturi_Client_* to VC_*). I renamed the 
chapters in the other book the same way and it still works!

The tag for the auto number is the same in both books - C:<n=1> for the 
first chapter and then C:<n+> for the rest.  In the TOC it is just C:<n+>, 
relying on the reset to zero to get started. That works just fine.

I've checked the numbering for the document as a whole and for each 
chapter, which are the same as the other book, but if I go to the C:<n=1> 
and C:<n+> it doesn't work correctly.

Anyone know where the switch is hidden or stuck?

TIA

manual was wrong about how to install one key bolt.  (NTSB Report on GE CF6
