I have a document divided by headings starting with a Roman Numeral main
heads, with numbered chapter heads under those. Pages are numbered
according to the chapter number.

This creates a problem in the index because the Roman Numeral Head shows up
as in the previous chapter like this when both are on the same page:

V. Something 26-1
27. Sub something 27-1

Is there any way to fix this besides manually editing the index every time
I generate it?

thanks,
- charles

I assume by "index" you mean a table of contents (TOC). Have you thought of
just omitting page numbers for the section headings since they always appear
on the same page as the next chapter heading?

Suzanne,

Thanks so much for the quick and helpful reply. Yes I did mean TOC. Sorry.
And this is a way to solve the problem.

thanks again,

Ooops, I thought it would be obvious, but I can't figure out how to omit
page numbers for those headings and still have them in the TOC. Did you
mean remove them from the TOC entirely?

thanks,

Ah, I figured you'd be back. g You need an \n switch in the TOC field; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm for details.

needed.

Nah, not psychic, just aware that my first post didn't provide all the info
you needed (I was in a hurry).
