Default TOC and Custom Chapters

I have a twelve section Word document. Each section has a unique chapter
prefix to the page numbering, ie, 10-1, 20-1, 30-1, etc. I would like those
chapter numbers to appear in my TOC when I select update automatically. Right
now my ToC is just picking up the actual pages within the section without the
chapter reference. Is there anyway to get the TOC to recognize a custom
chapters? Word 2003.

Default TOC and Custom Chapters

In the table of contents, the only numbers that can be included (besides the
page numbers, that is), are auto numbers (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/chapternumber.htm) or SEQ fields (see
the "Adding chapter numbering" section of the article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm). To clarify, these numbers
must be present in the main body of the document. In the case of SEQ fields,
you can format them in white color, so that they don't print.
