[softwarelist] OPro chapter numbers and contents

i'm still stewing this 300-page book, as a newbie OPro user.

i find i can't trust the chapter and page numbers displayed in the 
standard Info Palette -- and in the applet called Page Palette, which 
i also have running.
   i temporarily have chapter number showing alongside page number in 
the footers of each page, and sometimes the figure in these palettes 
differs by 1 from that showing in the footer.  this is particulary 
true of the chapter number.  even when i explicitly select something 
on the page.
   which is especially disconcerting when i want to delete a chapter, 
and the "Are you sure?" box talks about a chapter number different 
from the one i think i'm in.


also, i'm trying to use the Contents applet (Roger Noble, v2.23, 2003) 
to give me a list of the captions used for illustrations in the book.  
why does it insist in starting at page 70, ignoring the captions on 
previous pages?


someone suggested that i should save out a DDL file and then import 
that to a new document, in case various styles and stuff have got 
themselves into a twist.  it might help with the repeated 90-second 
update phenomenon i complained about earlier, he said.
   does anyone concur?
   (i know this operation would lose Bookmarks, but i haven't defined 
any yet, so that's not a problem.)

and if i do this, will i need to do each of the 12 chapters 
separately?  it would actually be useful if in the new document i can 
define one master page that would be replicated for all chapters.
