As a person very much involved in the preparation of engineering
documentation, I would suggest that you do not do this. It may have been
common in the days before computers but these days it's becomes an
invitation for documents not to be kept up to date.

There are other ways of identifying what may have been added to the
documents.

I'm trying to put together a revision to a document that includes new
pages
inserted into the document. The original document was numbered
Chapter-Page
(1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc.). The inserted pages need to be numbered as "point
pages" between the pages of the original document (1-1, 1-2, 1-2.1, 1-2.2,
1-3, etc.).

As far as I can tell, Word's page numbering system doesn't support this
numbering scheme (despite its being very common for technical
publications).
I can add the page numbers to the headers of the point pages manually, but
this messes up the automatic Table of Contents and Index that Word
creates,
since Word doesn't recognize my manually-entered page numbers. Not only
are
items on the point pages not indexed correctly, but page numbers for
everything that appears after the point pages show incorrectly in the ToC
and
Index (although the page numbers in the headers appear correct).

Does anybody know of a way to add this kind of page numbering or is Word
simply incapable of handling this?
