Turn off automatic page numbering in a book
1. Choose Book Page Numbering Options from the Book panel menu.
2. Deselect Automatically Update Page & Section Numbers, and then click OK.

You can also update only page and section numbers or only chapter and paragraph numbers.
Use sequential paragraph numbering in books
To use sequential paragraph numbering for lists of figures, tables, or other items, you first define a numbered list that is used in a paragraph style.
The numbered list you define determines whether paragraph numbering maintains sequential numbering across documents in a book.
1. Open the document that is used as the style source for the book.
2. Choose Type > Bulleted And Numbered Lists > Define Lists.
3. Click New to define a list or select an existing list and choose Edit.
4. Select both Continue Numbers Across Stories and Continue Numbers From Previous Document In Book.
5. Click OK.
6. Define a paragraph style that uses a numbered list, and apply it to the text in each document that contains the list. (See Create a paragraph
style for running lists.)
To make sure the same numbered list setting is used across all documents in the book, select the Paragraph Styles and Numbered Lists
options in the Synchronize Options dialog box, and then synchronize the book.
Print or output a book file
One advantage of using a book file is that you can use a single command to output—for print, preflight, package, or export to EPUB or PDF—
selected booked documents or the entire book.
