Default Formatting page numbers and creating a Table of Contents

these websites are great, but they don't work for my situation. Heres the
complete story:

I was given a manual and needed to divide the manual up by its section.
Therefore, I have four word documents named Ch. 1, Ch. 2, Ch.3, & Ch.4.
The headings were correctly fomatted with H1,H2, etc. However, the sections
themselves don't say Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.

Therefore, its my job to include the chapters in the footer.
Ex. Ch. 1 document is 1-1, 1-2, 1-3
Ex. Ch. 2 document is 2-1, 2-2, 2-3

I hope this explanation helps.

Hello Everyone,
Right now, I would like to format my Word document in a very special way.
I
want all the pages to read the following: 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc. in the
footer.
How can I go about doing this? I tried to mess around with the custom
fields,
but had no luck.

After this is done, I need to create a table of contents with the page
numbers in the same format. Originally, I just typed in "1-" and then
clicked "Insert Page." But when I created a TOC, the numbers would read
1,2,3
instead of 1-1, 1-2, 1-3.

How can I fix these problems?
Thanks!
