Table of Contents Numbers
The table of contents uses the format specified in the Page Number
Format dialog box. You can access this dialog box, for a given section, via the Format Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Earl" wrote in message ...

Table of Contents Numbers
This does not work. The table of contents remains with i,ii,iii format after
changing it in the format page number box. I even tried taking the main body and copying it to a blank file and installing another table of contents - the result is the same. This began with my trying to set up the pages before the main body with i, ii, iii numbering using separate sections. When I was unsuccessful at that, I gave up and decided not to even give page numbers for the early pages (title page, disclaimer, table of contents, etc.) still in a separate section. I was able to get the first page of the first document to be page one but the table of contents still starts with i rather than 1. I even put a footer in the table of contents with numbers - that works but the table of contents is still i, ii, iii.

Table of Contents Numbers
Presumably you have updated the TOC field after all these changes?

Table of Contents Numbers
Note that you must access the Page Number Format dialog box for each
(Word) section. You can use the Show Previous / Show Next buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar to move between headers (footers). Pay attention to the section number displayed when the header/footer area is active, to make sure that you've looked at all sections. Also note that a section has a page number format, even if it has no visible page number. This format will be used in the TOC, if text picked up by the TOC is found in that section. Moreover, adding static text to the header, by typing it and/or changing the page number format for the PAGE field (as described at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/PageNumbering.htm) will NOT affect the appearance of the TOC. For more on creating a front matter, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...rontMatter.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Earl" wrote in message ... This does not work.
