Hi Suzanne,
Now I see what the problem with my document. Turns out, other parts of the
document that were not section heads, had been formatted with the built in
heading styles and those were not linked to any chapter headings of course so
it was causing all sorts of weird page numbering to occur. So I am going
through the document and changing those styles and so far, I am able use the
outline numbering tool to get the page numbers to show up correctly in the
TOC. Thanks for your responses to my questions!

Did you read the article I referred you to? In order to include a chapter
number in your page number, the chapter number must be the autonumber of a
paragraph in one of the built-in heading styles.

Thank you for responding, it seems I am having difficultly with that very
feature "include chapter number". Every time I mark the checkbox to use
the
chapter numbers, I get the message that "there is no chapter number to
include in the caption or page number . . ." It tells me to use the
Bullets
and Numbering command to do that, and I believe that is where my problem
begins. I am not sure what it means when they want you to link the heading
styles to numbering? Perhaps I am making this harder than it truly is
and
my understanding of this feature may be wrong, but I am not sure how to go
about doing this. I applied styles and everything else in the TOC is
correct
except for the page numbering. My page numbering is showing up as I wish
in
the text in this format (1-10) but I do not understand the concept of
getting the page numbers to show up that way in the TOC. Any other
assistance
would be greatly appreciated!

The TOC will not include chapter numbers unless they have been made part

the page number using the "Include chapter number" feature. See

Hello,
I am having a tough time figuring out why the page numbers in my TOC
are
not
showing up correctly. I thought I was pretty Word savvy but I do not
know
what it is that I am doing wrong. I am formatting a policy manual at
my
job
and they want the page numbers to be formatted as such; 1-10 meaning
Chapter
1 page 10. The numbers show up correctly in the manual but when I
generate
a
TOC it just shows the page numbers as 1, 2, 3, etc. I have looked at
some
articles on Shauna Kelly's site but my numbering is still not correct.
If
anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this I would really
appreciate
any
guidance!
Thank you,
Thelisha Woods
