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?
