In my iBook I want to re-number my chapter using iBooks author. "Help" says that this can be done with the layout-inspector.
Unfortunately I can´t see the numbering tab.
In the picture below I changed the chapter-# manually, but in the row on the left chapter-# is set automatically (I don´t know why it is set to "10"). And see that in the inspector no "numbering tab" is shown.
Weher is my fault? Thanks for any help

On the left side you'll see the chapters. Grab and move the chapter to be renumbered where you want it to be in the list of chapters on the left and it will be renumbered automaticly

Dear Guy,
thanks for your reply. The problem is:
I want the first chapter in my book has the Nr. 11 (because I published some other books that belong to one "great book". 1st iBook has chapter-# 1, 2nd iBook Chapter-# 2 and so on.
So that´s why I want the chapters to be numbered individually and manually.
Yours Andy
So, If I understand you right. You are creating A Great Book with all your other books within. Correct?
If this is the case you'll probably have to use sections under each book for your chapters.
eg...
Chapter 1 Book Title
Section chapter 1
pages 1-13
Section Chapter 2
pages 1-10
Chapter 2 Book Title
Section chapter 1
pages 1-20
Section chapter 2
and so on.
I'm wanting to do the same with a book but just have'nt tried it yet.
Hij GuyPicks,
not yet, I planned it in this way:
It´s a book consisting of f.e. 7 separate iBooks. Virtual title of the book (f.e.): "How to bake a cake?"
iBook1 contains Chapter 1: "Plan the typ of cake"
iBook2 contains Chapter 2: "How to buy the ingredients?"
iBook3 contains Chapter 3: "How to mix the paste?"
iBook4 contains Chapter 4: "How to prepare the baking-oven?"
iBook5 contains Chapter 5: "How to bake the cake?"
iBook6 contains Chapter 6: "How to prepare yourself and your guest to eat the cake?"
iBook7 contains Chapter 7: "How to do a quality control of your cake?"
I can´t write alle these chapters within one single book because every chapter is very big and iBooks store would´t accept such a big single book. So I habe to write it in 7 separate chapters and to tell the reader that he will have the whole book content in 7 separate chapters. The folder in which one can collect all those separate chapters can have the name "How too bake a cake?" but it´s not a single iBook with 7 chapters and several sections.
So that´s why I want to number every single and separate iBook.
Yours
Andy
Yeah, I gotcha. I don't know any other way to do this.
Maybe someone can chime in on this to help.
Guy
Hi Guy and thanks again.
I think my problem is that I can´t see the button "numbers" in the layout-inspector. I only see "split"
Yours
Andy
