At my new job (an editor at an Army Depot) I have had to create
documents that conform to a specific standard.
Namely, the standard must be:
Chapter 1
(Chapter title)
1-1. (Section Heading)
a. (stuff...)
1-2. (So on...)
Chapter 2
(And so forth...)
Appendix A
References
(stuff)
Appendix B
(Appendix title)
B-1. (Section heading)
Appendix C
(And so forth...)
Glossary
(stuff)
And the section headings need to be in the TOC if they're in the
chapters, not if they're in the appendices.
My solution has been different from the normal one prescribed. The
Chapter list's first level is indeed "Chapter <n>", and the Appendix
List's first level is "Appendix <n>", but I did not link Heading 1 to
any list style. Instead, I created an Autotext called "Chapter" that
puts forth:
<Heading 1>Chapter 1<CR>
(Chapter Title)</Heading 1>
<Heading 2>1-1.</Heading 2>
and a similar one for Appendices, except that the Appendix section
heading is not Heading 2 (so it doesn't show up in the TOC).
And amazingly, this works. { STYLEREF 1 \s }, if the nearest Heading
1 has a Listnum in it, gets the number of that Listnum, no matter
whether it's 1 or B. Table and Figure SEQs reset as needed, and
everything mostly works. (Primarily because I'm the only one who uses
my template so far.)
However, everything isn't milk and honey in the land of the
ListNumbering. I often lose the ChapterList name on the style, which
is aggravating. If I'm lucky, they turn into "0." and I can just
toggle the field, type in "ChapterList" or "AppendixList" again, and
refresh, and it comes back. If I'm not lucky, they turn into "1)" and
"2)" and I have to undo everything until I find out what made it go
completely FUBAR. How do I keep this from happening?
Also: I am not allowed to use macros. Have fun! >_<
