Hi:

I would like to put some text in front of my page numbers in the footer
of each page.

- e.g.: FooBar / Page 1
FooBar / Page 2
etc.

The prepended text in this example is "FooBar / Page ".

I also want this text to appear (together with the page number) in the
table of contents (TOC).

- e.g.: Chapter Title ............. FooBar / Page 1

Can someone please tell me how to do this in Microsoft Word 2003?

Thank you!

For the first part, simply edit the header or footer where the page number
is and insert the text you want before the page number. It will be repeated
on pages where that footer/header appears. For the 2nd part, I can't think
of a way to do it without manually creating/editing the TOC. Perhaps someone
else will have some idea.

My primary (and still unsolved) problem is the second part
(auto-generate TOC, which includes the text before the page number). I
actually already knew how to put "dumb" text in front of the page number
in the footer - but not how to do it so it becomes part of the TOC,
which is my actual question. Sorry for not being more clear.

I hope some other MVP will have a solution. We do a lot of work for the
DOD and they often want page numbers and TOCs that include some text
(e.g., "15/1 1", where only the last number is the page number).

PS. Herb: your signature delimiter ("-- ") is causing my original post
from being included in my current reply (because Thunderbird removes
everything below a proper signature delimiter). Please either "break"
your signature delimiter or set your UA to put your signature *below*
the quoted post.

Peter, you could add a chapter number in front of the page number. If
this "15/1" in yr last post is reflecting the chapter numbering, it
might be doable, depending on the exact format of the paragraph
numbering (it also requires to define the paragraph numbering in the
right way - see www.shaunakelly.com). Pls post again with more detailed
requirements if you need more help.

The "15" is the section number, which is the only section this document
contains. The other "sections" are located in other files. I am only
responsible for this section, so I can't create a "master document" that
combines all sections' documents. The "/1" is the version/revision
number of the document.

I need to be able to prepend the TOC page number with just text ("15/1
"), unless I can create a "chapter" that looks like "15/1 " and that is
not "visible" in the document.

I'll try your suggestion, but I'm not sure what you mean. My level of
density usually requires step-by-step instructions. :-[

Thanks!

Just an idea to try:
1. Create one heading in the beginning of your body text that is not
used (say Heading 9) that shows as "15/1 abc", where 15/1 is the
_outline_ number (to be defined according to the instructions from
Shauna Kelly)
2. Format it as white font so it appears invisible. Don't make the
text hidden.
3. Insert / Page Number / [Format...] and check "Include chapter
number". Assign it to Heading 9.
The page number now picks up the 15/1 as long as it doesn't find a
second Heading 9.

It's late here, and I have to go, but I think it's doable, yet requires
some efforts. My only hesitation is whether "15/1 " can be formatted as
outline number.
