I'm creating an index for a manual that has several chapters. The client
wants the page numbers to display as X-y where "X" is the chapter number and
"y" is the page number within that chapter. The page numbers in the footers
of each page are formatted this way (by using "format page number" and
selecting "include page number"). The index also picks up this X-y format;
for example: "widgets, 3-12" if "widgets" is marked in chapter 3, page 12.

This works MOST of the time. The problem is that the index is picking up the
chapter numbers in most cases but mysteriously drops them (leaving only the
page number within that chapter) in other cases. So I'll wind up with, for
example: "widgets, 3-12, 5-15, 61, 8-3". On page 61 (in the example), the
page number in the page footer is showing with the chapter number, as it
should; same with the preceeding and subsequent pages. So I'm baffled why
it's catching some chapter numbers but dropping others. Updating the index
does not resolve the problem.

I did discover earlier today that some of the chapter numbers had been
dropped in SOME of the page footers (probably because I had to insert a
replacement chapter in a copy-and-paste), but I went through and fixed these.
This corrected a few of the index references, but not all of them. I've tried
deleting the XE marker and re-marking it, but it doesn't fix the problem.

Any ideas? I couldn't find anything like this in a search of this newsgroup
or the Web at large. Thanks in advance for the help!
