I'm getting closer! I got it to work until I updated the ToC (update whole
table). Then all of the page numbers changed and the "S1" switched as well.
It switched to...
1. Signature Page....0-2
2. Synopsis.............0-3
3. ToC....................0-5
4. LoA....................-10
Am I correct when I say that in order to use this functionality, I can only
update the page numbers and not "the whole table"?
Thanks for your patience.

You will have to add the "S" manually next to the page number in the footer
of the relevant section; that is correct. In order to make the page number
restart, set that option in the Page Number Format dialog box for the
section.
To display the Page Number Format dialog box, activate the header/footer
area, and then do one of the following:
- On the Header and Footer toolbar, click the Format Page Number button
(Word 97-2003).
- On the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, click Page Number, and then click
Format Page Numbers (Word 2007).
To include "S" in the table of contents, do the following: Place the
insertion point in the "Synopsis" paragraph. Add the following SEQ field:
{ SEQ test \r 19 \* ALPHABETIC }. Press Ctrl+F9 to add the field delimiters,
{ }, and type the code as shown. Press F9 to update. Format the SEQ field as
hidden so that it won't print.
Use Alt+F9 to show field codes. The TOC will look similar to { TOC \o "1-3"
\h }. Add \s "test" as I described in my previous message, and then press
Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. Update the TOC.

Hi Stefan,
I appreciate your help but I'm a bit confused about where to use this SEQ
field. I'm not overly familiar with them although I've been doing some
reading this morning.
First, the pages I want with a separate page numbering schema are set
apart
as a section within the document using section breaks and the style
Heading
1. Conveniently enough, it is section 2 of my document as well as being
numbered "2" (2. Synopsis). Also, I'm unsure of what you mean by your
direction "...include the paragraph in the TOC". The heading is part of
the
ToC already.
I would like the page numbering in the footer of this section to use an
"S"
instead of a "2" as the chapter number (i.e., S1 of S2 not 2-1 of 2-2). I
did this originally by typing an S before the Page number field. Using
the
SEQ string you provided below didn't give me that so I must be doing
something incorrectly.
When I added the \s switch to the ToC, the page numbering for my section
showed up as Page 3 which is the actual page number but not what I need.
I hope I'm being clear. As you can see I'm very confused about what to do
next.

To include heading numbers with page numbers, first you will have to make
sure that the relevant heading is in a separate section.
Then you can use the "Include chapter number" option in the Page Number
Format dialog box (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/chapternumber.htm).
Alternatively, use a SEQ field to create the number in the document,
include
the paragraph in the TOC and add the \s switch to the TOC field. For
example, if numbering is done using this field: { SEQ test \r 19 \*
ALPHABETIC } (which produces the letter "S"), you will have to add \s
"test"
to the end of the TOC code as follows: { TOC \o "1-3" \h \s "test" }.
(Note
that the field code is just an example. Depending on the options chosen,
other switches could be present.)
To show/hide field codes, use Alt+F9. After you've edited the field code,
use F9 to update the result.

Thanks. That problem is fixed.
I have another issue and I don't know if or how it can be done.
I have section 2 page numbering (Synopsis) set differently from the
rest
of the document so that it can be a standalone document as needed. I
used SECTION PAGES field code to set it up with the numbering SX of
SX.
Can I set up the Table of Contents page number for this section to
include
this label "S"?
Currently it says:
1. Signature Page.....2
2. Synopsis..............1
3. ToC.....................3
I want it to say:
1. Signature Page.....2
2. Synopsis..............S1
3. ToC.....................3

I did what you suggested but the SectionPages field keeps
defaulting
to a
total page count of 1 instead of 2. So my footers read "S1 of S1,
S2
of
S1".
I've updated the fields but it still comes out the same way.
Any suggestions?

The

blank,

Help!
