I've sent you the document via email.
Many thanks for the offer.

That is strange. If you press Ctrl+Shift+8 to show nonprinting marks and
then press Alt+F9 to show field codes, can you still see the code for the
SEQ field?

By the way, if you want to, I can take a look at the file. You can send it
to .

The SEQ field hid itself. I didn't do anything to format it that way. To
be
honest I don't know how.

The field codes look OK; I'm using something similar in Word 2007.

Does it work if the SEQ fields are not formatted as hidden text?

I'm using Word 2003.

My ToC is coded thus: TOC \O "1-4" \H \Z \U \S "TEST" within curly
brackets.
My SEQ is coded thus: SEQ TEST \R 19 \* ALPHABETIC \* MERGEFORMAT
within
curly brackets.

When the page number displays with a leading zero, that indicates that
something is wrong with the field code. Did you make sure to use \s
"test"
in the TOC field code and SEQ test in the SEQ field, that is, did you
make
sure that the sequence names are the same?

Also, please mention which version of Word you are using.

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?
