Add custom text to PAGE field code
For "Include chapter number" to work you must be using the built-in heading
styles for chapter titles and those styles must have outline numbering applied to them; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html and http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/chapternumber.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Vrin" wrote: Hi all - I'm hoping someone can help me resolve an issue I'm experiencing with merging long documents, then creating tables of contents. What we have are 8 chapters, all with different authors, which have been formatted using styles and figure/table captions with outline numbering, which I've merged by using the Insert | File function. My issue is when I create the TOC, all the pages numbers have been reset to number sequentially from 1-187. I then created separate sections (insert section break, next page), so that I could re-start numbering for each chapter, but unfortunately the "Include chapter number" doesn't work as I get an error message that "There is no chapter number...must be defined using outline number..." which I'd already done before merging the documents. So somehow in the inserted chapters the headings don't appear to be recognized?? So since time is short, I'm hoping a workaround of including text in the PAGE field will allow the chapter numbers to be picked up by the TOC. However, I'm not familiar with field codes and how they work, and so mine aren't working. Any suggestions on how to modify the PAGE field so the displayed value looks like, "1.1, 1.2... 2.1, 2.2, ...3.1, 3.2, etc.? Or if there's another solution, I'm all ears. My problem is that the first chapter is an executive summary, and uses the heading 1-4 styles, however, it's not numbered using outline number, which is causing me headaches. The remaining chapters 1-7 do use outline numbering, and somehow I can't reconcile the two formats into one seamless TOC with the page and outlining numbering options we want. I'm using Word 2003 and Windows XPSP2. Thanks for any and all suggestions! Vrin |
