Renumbering theorem items

Version: 2.5 - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

Q. I'm using SW version 2.5 to write an article using the Jeep style. How can I restart the example numbers each time I start a new section?

A. SW version 2.5 is provided with four files that control the way items such as theorems, lemmas, and axioms are numbered in documents created with non-Style Editor styles:

This style file:	Renumbers this item:	At the beginning of a new:
thmsa.sty	theorem	section
	corollary	theorem
	conjecture	theorem
	lemma	theorem
	proposition	theorem
	definition	theorem
	example	theorem
	axiom	document
	remark	document
	exercise	section

This style file:	Renumbers this item:	At the beginning of a new:
thmsb.sty	theorem	section
	corollary	document
	conjecture	document
	lemma	document
	proposition	document
	definition	document
	example	document
	axiom	document
	remark	document
	exercise	document

This style file:	Renumbers this item:	At the beginning of a new:
thmsc.sty	theorem	section
	corollary	theorem
	conjecture	theorem
	lemma	theorem
	proposition	theorem
	definition	section
	example	section
	axiom	section
	remark	section
	exercise	section

This style file:	Renumbers this item:	At the beginning of a new:
thmsd.sty	theorem	section
	corollary	theorem
	conjecture	theorem
	lemma	theorem
	proposition	theorem
	definition	section
	example	section
	axiom	section
	remark	section
	exercise	section

The file thmsd.sty, which is identical to thmsc.sty, is provided for modification purposes. If you want to change the way theorem items are numbered, modify thmsd.sty.

To get the numbering you want, change the theorem file used with the style:

1. Open your SW document.

2. From the File menu, choose Style and then choose Go Native.

3. In the Options area, change the name of the theorem file to the one you want.

4. Choose OK twice.

   If SW displays a message about reloading your document, choose OK.
