We just upgraded from Frame 5.56 to Frame 7.0.

I'm having problems with the TOC. The frontmatter uses lowercase roman
numerals while the rest of the documents use Arabic with the chapter
number preceding the page number. The problem is that I get a TOC has the
chapter number preceding the roman numberal. It looks like this:


Conventions and optional resources 1-ix
Conventions 1-ix
Optional resources 1-ix
Chapter 1
Introducing MVS data adapters for the mainframe 1-1
MVS data adapters: collecting metrics from the mainframe 1-2
How DiagnoSys works with the mainframe 1-2
Chapter 2
Installing the EMP and MVS DAs 2-1
Installation checklist 2-2
Installing the EMP 2-3



My reference page looks like this:

openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId>
<$paratext>\t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>
<$paratext>\t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>
<$paranum><$paratext>\t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>
<$paranum><$paratext>\t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>

I'm not sure what to do. I've go through and change all my numbering in my
paragraph tags to include the <$chapnum> variable. How do I make the frontmatter
numbering appear in the TOC without the chapter number.

Thanks.
