page and TOC numbering

[cayce]

I am working in W97 and am stumped on a solution. I need to get the chapter
number to appear in the footer to the left of the page #. It also needs to
appear in the TOC. However, the heading styles defined in the document are
not the default Word headings 1-9?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

For chapter/page numbering to work you have to use the buit-in heading
styles (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/chapternumber.htm). You can
either manually apply these styles, or use the Find and Replace dialog box
to replace the current styles (or direct formatting).

thanks Stefan. I thought there might be a workaround. Such is life.

You are welcome.

Also, don't forget that you can change the built-in headings to have the
desired formatting (so being forced to use them isn't really a limitation,
although it requires some extra work in this case).

In my case the use of changed builtin styles isn't a viable solution because
of documentation processes. But, I do appreciate your continuing to try and
help me find a way to accomplish my goal.

thanks again
