Numbering Titles and Labels

Summary

Title Numbering automatically numbers the Part, Chapter, Section, and Map (including Overview Map) titles and/or Block labels in a document.

When to use

Title numbering can be applied at any time during the document development process. Apply title numbering

  • at the beginning of the document development process 
  • during the document development process, or 
  • once the document has been completed.

Options

Title numbering applies to the following titles and/or labels in a document:

  • Part Titles 
  • Chapter Titles 
  • Section Titles 
  • Map Titles, and 
  • Block Labels.

Note: You will only be given the option to number Part, Chapter, and Section titles in the Title Numbering dialog box when they are present in your document.

Customizing

The numbering style in FS Pro, regardless of whether it is a title or label, is Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3 ...). It cannot be customized.

Procedure

Follow the steps in the table below to number the titles and/or labels in your document.

Adding, Deleting, or Moving Content in Numbered Documents

You will have to re-apply title numbering when you add, delete, and/or move the content in your document.
