At the moment I have the following in my document: In the chapters 7 to 12 a more in depth description of the functionalities will be given. For this document it is not a real problem. (I do not expect the chapter structure to change often.) But it would be nicer to get the chapter numbers auto generated. Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

Sorry, communication is not my strong point. :-{ What I mean. I have something like: \chapter{General description} . . This is explained in chapters 7 to 12. . . \chapter{another} . . \chapter{first explaining} % this is (now) chapter 7 . . \chapter{last explaining} % this is (now) chapter 12 When chapters are added, moved or removed. The chapter numbers in the above sentence have to be changed manually. As a real programmer I am lazy and want the computer do it for me. :-D -- Cecil Westerhof
