Page Numbering Issue
Im well-versed in creating headings whenever needed and associating styles;
however, today, my usual method isnt working. In a nutshell, Ive named the appendix style in my document as Heading 6. When I apply Heading 6 to my text, it works (and appears in my TOC as it should). Great going, right? The problem is when I go to number those pages€”I get the ENTIRE heading where the page number appears in the footer (e.g., APPENDIX A-1) instead of just A-1, A-2, etc., like I usually get. Ive NEVER seen that happen before in all my years of performing this function, and am wracking my brain as to why. I'm not sure if there's a problem w/this particular document somewhere (I tried it in my own Normal.dot template and it DOES work correctly), since it was created by someone else. Can some1 help me understand this new phenomenon? Id greatly appreciate it! |

Page Numbering Issue
In the header/footer of the appendix, is the word APPENDIX typed
inside the page no. field (toggle it with Shift-F9) instead of outside it?

Hi Peter,
Yes, it appears within the field w/the number, like: APPENDIX A-1. This is really stumping me--hope you can help! "Peter T.

Just delete it from inside the field, and type it in the header/footer
outside the page number field! BTW we don't do Excel here ...

Page Numbering Issue
Hmmm, well, if I do that, the page numbers won't show up in the TOC (unless I
manually type them in), will they? Excel reference ... I know, but that's the username I had at the time. Not sure if there's a way to change it on here, so I just kept it. Suggestions on how to change it are more than welcome! "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: Just delete it from inside the field, and type it in the header/footer outside the page number field!

Sigh. Don't delete the PAGE field. Just remove the word "APPENDIX"
from inside it. You could even select it and drag it outside.

Tried that already; what happens is the number itself will only display
(i.e., 1, 2, etc.), instead of what I want (A-1, A-2, etc.). *Sigh* "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: Sigh. Don't delete the PAGE field. Just remove the word "APPENDIX" from inside it.

Page Numbering Issue
If you added the chapter numbers by linking a outline/multilevel list level
to your heading 6, you should not get the label with the number. If you trying to supply the appendix label by using style ref, I don't know of a way to eliminate the label. If you used another method, let us know.

Hi, Pam.
Yes, that's how I've always done it w/no problem--this time, it's a complete mystery to me.

OK. Toggle the page number field to display the codes. It should say
something like { PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT }. If it says something different copy the text inside the braces ( {} ), and paste it into your next message to the forum. (It might help to add regular text braces in the message text to mimic the look of the field codes.) Pam VioletDC wrote: Hi, Pam.

Page Numbering Issue
Hi, Audrey,
I could not determine why the word "appendix" was in the middle of your page field,. My best guess for what happened is that somehow "appendix" got put into the number filed in the define new multilevel list (or in W2003 customize outline list) dialog. I got rid of it by defining a new list that was not based on the old one. Pam VioletDC wrote: Thanks so much, Pam. I'll send it to you momentarily. Look for my email from VioletDC.
