MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / March 2007Auto generated Table of Contents displays page numbers incorrectly
Hi, for the beginning of my document, I wanted to use i, ii, iii, iv as page numbers. No problem. But when I update Table of Contents - it changes numbers to I, II, III and IV. Help! Thanks! How did you specify the i, ii, iii, ... format for the page numbers? If you chose the format in the Page Number Format dialog box it should reflect in the table of contents. For more on creating a front matter, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm.

It doesn't matter whether I use i, ii, iii... or a, b, c - the Table of Contents reflects I, II, III... or A, B, C. I thought it might be an autocorrect somewhere but I have searched all that I could find. > How did you specify the i, ii, iii, ... format for the page numbers? > If you chose the format in the Page Number Format dialog box it should [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > numbers.

If so, it will reflect on the page numbers too. Since the TOC styles, by default, are set to automatically update, it might be sufficient to select the whole TOC, and then clear the "Small caps" and "All caps" options in the Format | Font dialog box. If this doesn't work for you, you can modify the TOC styles directly (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ModifyAStyle.html).

Help! Thanks! FWIW, I find that the automatic updating on TOC styles works well for paragraph formatting but less well for font formatting. SignatureSuzanne S.

Help! Thanks! Yes, but it would still be worth trying. Believe it or not, but I actually got it to work once. <g> SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > FWIW, I find that the automatic updating on TOC styles works well for > paragraph formatting but less well for font formatting.

I am sorry that I did not have the time to try your suggested solution sooner but when I did, IT WORKED! Thank you so much! I am doing an accreditation study for a school and it will make it more professional! Thanks again! Pat Smiley > Did you modify the TOC styles to include uppercase (or small caps) > formatting?
