Default TOC Spanning Multiple Documents -- Chapter Number in Page Numb

Okay, this note helped me find the problem, and now I'm embarrassed.

I assumed that my text processor had used the switch that inserts the
chapter number (I had built the template to work that way). Instead, she had
typed in the chapter number by hand. I took out the manual number and used
the "Include Chapter Number" switch, and of course it worked fine.

Thanks.

You lost me. When you say, "post back," what do you mean?


You just did... :-)
I meant, "Post back here with the requested information"

My TOC looks like this:

1 SITE CHARACTERISTICS................................... ..1
1.1 Introduction...................................... ...........1

I need it to look like this:

1 SITE CHARACTERISTICS................................... ..1-1
1.1 Introduction...................................... ...........1-1

My TOC field code looks like this:
{ TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \t "Heading 2,2,Heading 3,3,FrontMatterHeading,
1,AppTitle 1," ]

I'm running Office 2003 and Windows XP Professional SP2.


In your TOC field code, I do not see Heading 1 anywhere. It could be covered
by the "\o "1-1" switch if you are indeed using Heading 1 in your documents.
In which case, you shoud have \o "1-3" instead of \o "1-1" and "Heading
2,2,Heading 3,3,".

How did you set up the page numbering in your chapter documents so that
chapter numbers are included on each page? You must use Heading 1 if you want
to use a TOC that picks up on it, whether you are using RD fields or not.

Also, I believe you left out part of the code, it is missing a number after
the comma in "AppTitle 1,".

So, your TOC field should look like this:

{ TOC \o "1-3" \t "FrontMatterHeading,1,AppTitle 1,1" \h \z }

(Although I am guessing as to the TOC level for AppTitle 1.)
