TOC and Custom Chapters

[Syb H]

I have a twelve section Word document. Each section has a unique chapter
prefix to the page numbering, ie, 10-1, 20-1, 30-1, etc. I would like those
chapter numbers to appear in my TOC when I select update automatically. Right
now my ToC is just picking up the actual pages within the section without the
chapter reference. Is there anyway to get the TOC to recognize a custom
chapters? Word 2003.

In the table of contents, the only numbers that can be included (besides the
page numbers, that is), are auto numbers (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/chapternumber.htm) or SEQ fields (see
the "Adding chapter numbering" section of the article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm). To clarify, these numbers
must be present in the main body of the document. In the case of SEQ fields,
you can format them in white color, so that they don't print.
