I have a challenging dilemma that has stumped me for several days now
and could use some help. My organization has a standard format for
publishing documents. Chapter 1 is Introduction, etc. If, when
creating a document, you don't have information for a particular
chapter, you leave that chapter out (No changing this policy.) So the
document I inherited (150 pages, which has a manually created table of
contents, headings, and page numbering (arrgh, who would do that!))
contains Chapters 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 20, ..., 120. I formatted the text
so my numbered paragraphs now have Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.; when I
get to Chapter 6 I customize the Heading 1 outline numbering to start
at 6, same with 10, 20, etc. The Chapter numbering works fine and
appears correct in the (now automated) table of contents. My problem
is when I try to number the pages (to include chapter number). As you
would expect, Chapters 1-3 work fine; when I get to Chapter 6, and I
format the page number to include chapter number (starting with style
Heading 1), the page numbering starts over with Chapter 3. Same when I
try to number Chapter 10. A work-around I have is to insert Heading 1s
to account for the missing chapters, color the text white, and manually
delete them from the table of contents. This seems ok at first but I
have 11 chapters (10, 20, 30, 40, etc.) that would require 9 blank
Heading 1s each, that's not going to work. I would appreciate any
ideas to help me solve this problem.
Thanks,
