I have a large document with multiple chapters. Each of the chapters
currently has a footing, showing the Chapter number first, followed by a dash
and the page # (ex: 1-1, 5-1, 9-1, etc.) I have created a Table of Contents,
but only the page number from each chapter appears, making the TOC page
numbers list weird... 1, 2, 3.... 1, 2, 3 since all chapters share page the
same page numbers. How do I make the chapter # appear on the TOC along with
it's associated page #??? I've tried everything I can think of.... Please
help!

The chapter numbers will appear in the TOC provided you have included them
in the page numbers using the "Include chapter number" feature in Format
Page Number. That requires that the chapter number be the paragraph number
of one of Word's built-in heading styles (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm).
