table of contents and page number formatting
Hi,
I'm having trouble with my table of contents and page numbers. I have a large-ish document in several sections. The first four of these have page numbers inserted in a footer (using the MVP Word recommended method of inserting the field myself) formatted \* roman. The remaining sections of the document have \* Arabic, starting from page 1. In the TOC, however, it insists on numbering everything arabic (so the first few sections are numbered as being on pages 2, 9, etc even though the number on the page itself is ii, ix, etc.). Is there a way to force the TOC to use the format of the number on the page? I assume there's a switch, but looking through the help, I couldn't access a list of switches for TOC. Thanks for any help anyone can suggest. |

I will like to see a the answer to the post. I just posted a TOC question.
I don't know how to create one. How did you create your TOC? Thanks, Ty "no1impt" wrote: Hi, I'm having trouble with my table of contents and page numbers.

I'm not sure what MVP recommended using these switches, but I can't say I'm
surprised that the TOC is not honoring them. I would suggest that you remove the switches and format the page numbering using the Page Number Format dialog, selecting either i, ii, iii or 1, 2, 3, as appropriate.
