I’m trying to create a numbered list of Company Terms and Conditions (13 paragraphs in all) using 2 linked html boxes. At the moment the second box restarts the numbering at 1, whereas I need it to continue with the next number after the last number in the first frame. Is this possible?
TIA

Not in all browsers. There is a property you can add to a numbered
list that tells it where to start, but there isn’t a lot of browser
support for it. If I recall correctly, Mozilla- based browsers are the
only ones that behave. IE and Safari and all the rest just ignore it
and reset the numbers to start at 1.
You could try making your ordered list really wide, then use CSS to
set a width to its list items and set them to float left. That would
force an internal wrap within a single ordered list, and you wouldn’t
need to have two separate lists. This will take some serious
experimentation and use of the dreaded Extended button in the Edit
Styles dialog.

Ack! Forgot that if you do that (float the elements) your list will look like this:
1. some text 2. some text
3. some text 4. some text
Not what you wanted at all.

Don’t know if this is quite what you’re talking about Walt, but it’s
interesting:
It’s the third item down on the page.

OK… so really what I need to achieve is something that looks like a numbered list - is there a way I can indent 2nd and subsequent lines in the paragraph, so that the lined align to the text rather than the numbered bullet? Perhaps something like InDesign’s “Indent To Here” option?

Aha, that would work well if only you could apply classnames to
individual LI tags. You can apply a class style to the text, but it
becomes a span around the text in the LI, not something added to the
LI itself.
Shame, because it’s such a neat way to get this particular layout.

You can use a positive left margin, and an equal and opposite text-
indent. It won’t be perfect, because it won’t take into account the
number of characters in the “list” marker.
p.fakelist {
margin-left: 12px;
text-indent: -12px;
}

You could also try making multiple inline div with a left margin on each to approxiate this.

OK, I know this is too “hands-on” for most but if you wrote the list
markup manually you could easily add classnames to individual li tags
then you could insert the whole shebang into a markup item in FW.
Wouldn’t that work or am I misunderstanding what needs to happen?

Sure you could. But Freeway’s hand-editing environment is pretty stone
age. No tabs, no line numbers, no syntax highlighting. Grrrr.
I once made a site with nested lists (long before Freeway supported
this feature natively) and found it to be so awful that I had to lie
down for a while after working on that site.
