MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / May 2008Page numbering by heading
I have a document divided by headings starting with a Roman Numeral main heads, with numbered chapter heads under those. Pages are numbered according to the chapter number. This creates a problem in the index because the Roman Numeral Head shows up as in the previous chapter like this when both are on the same page: V. Something 26-1 27. Sub something 27-1 Is there any way to fix this besides manually editing the index every time I generate it? thanks, - charles I assume by "index" you mean a table of contents (TOC). Have you thought of just omitting page numbers for the section headings since they always appear on the same page as the next chapter heading?  SignatureSuzanne S.

Suzanne, Thanks so much for the quick and helpful reply. Yes I did mean TOC. Sorry. And this is a way to solve the problem. thanks again, - charles Ooops, I thought it would be obvious, but I can't figure out how to omit page numbers for those headings and still have them in the TOC. Did you mean remove them from the TOC entirely? thanks, - charles > I assume by "index" you mean a table of contents (TOC). Have you > thought of just omitting page numbers for the section headings since > they always appear on the same page as the next chapter heading? Ah, I figured you'd be back. <g> You need an \n switch in the TOC field; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm for details. SignatureSuzanne S.

Brilliant AND psychic. A scary combination. Thanks, looks like just what I needed. - charles` Nah, not psychic, just aware that my first post didn't provide all the info you needed (I was in a hurry). SignatureSuzanne S.
