Page Numbering and Field codes

[gb0dms]

We are using field codes to not count the page numbers on our divider pages,
this works on the actual pages,
but when we update the TOC it generats the actual page number not the coded
pages

This is the code on our divider page
{ SEQ Section\* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT }

{ SEQ NoPage\h \* MERGEFORMAT }

This is in our footer page numbers field
{= {PAGE} - { seq NoPage \c }}

and in our TOC
{TOC \f \t "Memo_Section Subtitle,2,Memo_Section Title,1" }
{TOC \F \T "CHART_TABLE TITLE,1" \C "FIGURE" }

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

A TOC will always report the result of the PAGE field. Unless you have
restarted numbering in the Format Page Number dialog, the PAGE field is not
altered; calculated results will display correctly on the page but not be
used by the TOC.

To add to what Suzanne wrote, use section breaks to change the formatting of
page numbers (the number style as well as any restarts); the TOC will
accurately reflect the settings in the Page Number Format dialog box but not
modifications made directly in the PAGE field codes.
