Table of Contents

[Mandley D]

I have a large document (500 pages) with approx 8 chapters that are set up
with a table of contents and references, tables, figures set up in order by
the 'Insert', 'References'

As I don't need to update all chapters when I reissue this document is it
possible to make each chapter as a separate Worddocument and force Word to
number the sections according to how they will ultimately appear in the final
document....i.e in the same way that you choose the number of the first page
of a document.

Many thanks for any advice

Hi Mandley D,

Yes, that is possible, but why not simply re-issue the changed chapters? You should be able to reprint just those pages.

I want to be able to update the individual chapters and control the document
as a series of separate chapters. Issue is when I cut and paste the chapters
into separate Word documents the section headers and captions become 1 by
default. if you you describe how I can force the numbering to reflect the
number in the whole document, i.e Chapter 4, with the headers and captions
being 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc I'd be grateful.

Many thanks
David

Hi Mandley,

You can force the Chapter numbering to start from whatever number you want by setting the 'start from' attribute of the relevant
Heading Style's numbering scheme, via Format|Style|Modify|Format|Numbering>Outline Numbered>Customise>Start At.

In word's Help file, see:'Insert the chapter number and title in a header or footer'. Also see:
