Default Add Text to Page Numbers (and to TOC)


Peter Reaper;2618550 Wrote:
My primary (and still unsolved) problem is the second part
(auto-generate TOC, which includes the text before the page number). I

actually already knew how to put "dumb" text in front of the page
number
in the footer - but not how to do it so it becomes part of the TOC,
which is my actual question. Sorry for not being more clear.

I hope some other MVP will have a solution. We do a lot of work for the

DOD and they often want page numbers and TOCs that include some text
(e.g., "15/1 1", where only the last number is the page number).

PS. Herb: your signature delimiter ("-- ") is causing my original post

from being included in my current reply (because Thunderbird removes
everything below a proper signature delimiter). Please either "break"
your signature delimiter or set your UA to put your signature *below*
the quoted post.


Herb Tyson [MVP] said on 7.2.2008 19:23:-
For the first part, simply edit the header or footer where the page
number is and insert the text you want before the page number. It
will
be repeated on pages where that footer/header appears. For the 2nd
part,
I can't think of a way to do it without manually creating/editing the
TOC. Perhaps someone else will have some idea.-

I would like to put some text in front of my page numbers in the
footer of each page.

- e.g.: FooBar / Page 1
FooBar / Page 2
etc.

The prepended text in this example is "FooBar / Page ".

I also want this text to appear (together with the page number) in the
table of contents (TOC).

- e.g.: Chapter Title ............. FooBar / Page 1

Can someone please tell me how to do this in Microsoft Word 2003?

Thank you!-

Peter, you could add a chapter number in front of the page number. If
this "15/1" in yr last post is reflecting the chapter numbering, it
might be doable, depending on the exact format of the paragraph
numbering (it also requires to define the paragraph numbering in the
right way - see www.shaunakelly.com). Pls post again with more detailed
requirements if you need more help.
