RE: Numbering errors when generating books

["Vincent Hurtel" <vhurtel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In fact, I don't know if it is possible, that's why I try to pre-set my
books in FrameMaker.
Do you know if it is possible ?
Thanks

OK, I understand your problem.

What I don't understand is why you can't include updating the book file as
part of your FrameScript routine. I think either doing that or building in
Fred's suggestion of activating the "Ignore Warnings" dialog box
as part of your script are the only ways you can get around the warning.

Other than  making copies of the shared file, but that's counter-productive
too.
