To convert FrameMaker autonumbers to Word SEQ
fields, set the following options:
; WriteAnums = Yes (default, write per SeqAnums) or No (omit entirely,
; used when having a Word style sheet add them for selected styles)
; SeqAnums = No (default, write as text) or Yes (write as SEQ fields)
When WriteAnums=Yes
(the default) and SeqAnums=Yes
, Mif2Go converts FrameMaker autonumbers to Word SEQ
fields.
When WriteAnums=No
,
the value of SeqAnums
is ignored, and FrameMaker
autonumbers are omitted in favor of whatever Word stylesheet you supply.
This is not a recommended option, because Word style-based numbering
is very problematic.
If you find that non-numbered paragraphs also
get numbered when you set WriteAnums=Yes
and
SeqAnums=Yes
, look at the FrameMaker numbering
properties of the format(s) in question. Sometimes people add numbering properties
such as A:< =0>
to the Body
paragraph format, for example, to reset numbering for list formats; Mif2Go does not add numbering beyond what is specified
in your FrameMaker document.
To eliminate unwanted autonumbers, you can import a FrameMaker conversion template to change the definitions of formats that should not be numbered in RTF output; see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template.
To insert a new item in a SEQ
field-based autonumber sequence in Word, the best practice is to copy
and paste an instance of that number style, either from the same sequence
or from a Word template. You cannot include in a Word style SEQ
fields (or bullets) as such.
