Default Add Text to Page Numbers (and to TOC)

Ok, I fiddled a bit and to show 15/1 you need two levels - 15 and 1, separated by the forward slash, because only the "gray" fields are picked up as the chapter. So it'll cost you Heading 8 ("15") - must be gray "1" in yr set up, and choose start at 15. Base Level 9 on level 8, so Heading 9 shows 15/1 - with 15 and 1 both grey, the / just plain text between it. Now the chapter assignment to heading 9 in the page number will show 15/1-1, 15/1-2, etc. (PS: make sure Level 8 and 9 do not cause problems later if the document is assembled with other chapters



It worked !!! It's a "bit" convoluted, but it worked!!! :-)

Thank you Henk57.

BTW: I wrote a note on how it's done. Here it is, in case you qant to re-use it:

Word - include random alpha-numeric chapter number (e.g., 15/1) in table of contents (TOC)

Desired Text must be defined as a "Header x" (best: Header 9) with a gray counter field.
Header x must exist once in the body (not in the header/footer). Don't add text to it.
Modify the style of Header 9: white text (invisible) Modify the style of Header 8: numbering / <gray #> / start at 15 Modify the style of Header 9: make based on Heading 8 / numbering / previous level: 8 (gray) / slash / Level 9 (gray). For page numbers: Format page number: [x] include chapter number - starts with style: Heading 9 For TOC: like always
