Publisher V2 Footnotes working on an older doc. not counting sequentially on a new doc?

[Whisper3]

Hi, I would appreciate some help with foot notes not counting sequentially, had them working on an older document and the notes panel reads exactly the same. It is not that I'm new to footnotes. I used them regularly of Page Plus X9 and then we had a gap without them for a while. Like I say I have brought up the notes panel (V2) on the old document and the new reads the same, the old one is counting the new one isn't.  The foot notes are going in but not counting. Notes panel : Footnotes: document wide: format 1,2,3 starting at 1. That's the top part anyway. Format, positioning and rules all read the same on both documents.

Any suggestions please.

Thank you in advance.

Can you provide a sample .afpub document that demonstrates the problem?

By not numbering, do you mean that every footnote is numbered 1 or that they're numbering within a frame but not within the story?

Look at the Numbering > Restart Every option. It defaults to Frame which isn't necessarily what you will want to use.

Also, be aware of the difference between Document-Wide and Custom. It can be rather confusing which option was used to create a footnote as the panel displays what the next footnote will be created as, not what the current footnote is. You have to click in a footnote and then look at the panel menu to figure out what type of footnote it is. I've explained this in my unofficial Publisher manual which you can download from this forum in the link in my signature.
