Custom Page Numbers - Displaying in TOC & Indexes
Hi the
I have a document containing several sections. I also have an index I've inserted. To make the document & index easier to navigate, I've differentiated the page numbering by appending a letter to the page number in accordance with the section you're viewing. For example, the Glossary section pages are numbered "G-1," "G-2," et cetera. However, when I generate the index, the letter I've appended (by editing the page field code for the page) the appended letter doesn't appear in the index reference. So for the example I've given above, the page numbers associated with index entries are missing the "G." Is there a way to get the index to include the appended letter? |

The only way to get a TOC or index to show such an inclusion is if you have
added it to the page number using the "Include chapter number" feature in Format Page Number; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm -- Suzanne S.

Custom Page Numbers - Displaying in TOC & Indexes
Okay. Thank you for the answer!
Do I need to use Outline numbering in order to assign chapter numbers? I ask because I do not want outline numbering in the document. Kerry "Suzanne S.

Custom Page Numbers - Displaying in TOC & Indexes
You have to get a "number" (which can be a letter) into some level of
heading somewhere somehow. If you're not using all the heading levels, you could pick some unused ones, apply A, B, C numbering with the desired "start at" value, and insert a dummy heading formatted as Hidden or white so that it doesn't print; I *think* Word can still pick it up from the paragraph. Use as many levels as needed for the various parts (one for G, one for another letter, etc.), changing the heading level in "Include chapter number" as required. It's a wasteful way to use headings, but it's the only out I can see. -- Suzanne S.
