Hello,

I'm working on a project with a few other people and we are each responsible for writing a single chapter/component of a larger document.  I am, for example, responsible for chapters 2 and 6.  Unfortunately, when I run pdftex on my component, the chapter number always begins from 1 which means all my sections, equations, figures, and tables are all numbered as 1.x.x.x.  Is there a way to force a component to use a different chapter number?

Thanks,
James
