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 |

The TOC will not include chapter numbers unless they have been made part of
the page number using the "Include chapter number" feature. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm -- Suzanne S.

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! Thelisha "Suzanne S.

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. -- Suzanne S.

Hello,
Yes, thank you for the link to the article, I read that article before and tried the steps but it still is not coming out right. I guess it could either be something I am not doing right or because the document I am trying to format has been worked on many times by numerous people so there is no telling what other formatting codes could be causing the problem! So I may just take all the page numbering off and try all over again to see what the problem is. Thank you for your help with my issue. Thelisha "Suzanne S.

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! Thelisha "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Did you read the article I referred you to?
