Help. I am finishing up a book and need to reset the footnote registers for each chapter so I can print seriatum. I have worked with my system administrator and with the -me reference manual but we cannot get footnotes to permenently reset. The best so far is that the first footnote is has the value incremented from the last chapter (for instance 73) and the next foonote is 1. I could do a reset at the end of the chapter, but would like very much to be able to put all of the resets at the first of the chapter, however. Sometimes I get the first footnote to go to 1, and the 2nd and subsequent are incremented from the previous chapter (74, 75 etc). One would have thought that the -me writer would have made footnotes as easy to reset as section.headers, but Noooo. .nr ?f 0 .nr $f 1 1 .ds * \\*[1\\*]\k* is what I am currently using to try and accomplish the reset. I welcome suggestions from all you -me mavens. Thanks in advance, as the natives say.
