Table of Contents and Page numbering

[ap1971]

In a mulit section document with two different style of number formats, do
you have to format each section so the numbers will appear in the correct
format in the table of contents. For example, my TOC and TOA are two
separate sections in the the document,however they are linked. I want their
numbers to be i,ii and the remaining document 1,2,3 etc. I tried formatting
the page number, that worked, but only for one section, not the next linked
section.

For page numbers in a multi-section document, you should get i, ii, iii in
each of your TOA and your TOC, as long as you specify that the page numbering
format should begin at i (roman one) for the TOC and the TOA, and change the
page number format to 1 (arabic one) for the body of the document. This
requires different sections and section breaks for these 3 parts of the
document - body, TOA, TOC. The sections then would NOT be linked, because
each section of page numbering has to start over at "one" and NOT continue
from the previous section, unless your TOA and TOC are going to be numbered
sequentially and not separately. If the TOA and TOC are going to have the
same type of numbering and continuous numbering, then you could "Link to
Previous." You have to toggle off the "Link to Previous" choice for your
Arabic numbering. The View-Header and Footer toolbar provides the choices
for inserting page number, viewing page number options, linking to previous
section, etc.
