Autonumber Format Examples

A heading to display the volume number and title.

A heading to display the chapter number and title.

A subheading within a chapter, where the first number reflects the chapter number. The second number is simply incremented. Additional subheadings using this same format would be numbered like this:

1.2

1.3

1.4

A paragraph at the first level of your content, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. You simply want to begin counting at 1. The second number is simply 0 for each paragraph using the style. Additional paragraphs using this same format would be numbered like this:

2.0

3.0

4.0

In this example, "A" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

A paragraph at the second level of your content, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. You might indent paragraphs (or styles) using this format. If so, paragraphs using this same format would be seen as "children" of first-level paragraphs and numbered like this:

1.0

1.1

1.2

2.0

2.1

2.2

2.3

In this example, "A" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

A paragraph at the third level of your content, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. You might indent paragraphs (or styles) using this format. If so, paragraphs using this same format would be seen as "children" of first-level and second-level paragraphs and numbered like this:

1.0

1.1

1.1.1

1.1.2

2.0

2.1

2.1.1

2.1.2

2.1.3

In this example, "A" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

A.

B.

II.

A.

B.

C.

In this example, "O" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

A paragraph below an image to describe the contents of the image. In this example, the first number refers to the chapter number where the image is included, and the second number simply increments by 1 each time the autonumber format is applied to content.

So the first few figure captions of Chapter 1 would be numbered like this:

FIGURE 1-1:

FIGURE 1-2:

FIGURE 1-3:

And the first few figure captions of Chapter 2 would be numbered like this:

FIGURE 2-1:

FIGURE 2-2:

FIGURE 2-3:

In this example, the "C" at the beginning of the format is necessary to increment based on the chapter. The "F" that comes after it is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want (e.g., CP).

A caption for a table, where you are not concerned about using the chapter number. The autonumbers would increment like this:

Table 1 -

Table 2 -

Table 3 -

In this example, "T" at the beginning of the format is arbitrary. You can use any letter you want.

A paragraph that is part of step-by-step procedures, which would look like this:
