Sectional page numbering

[Barb]

I'm using Word 2007. I have 2 questions relating to the same issue.

My 'document' has a cover page, TOC and over 300 pages. There are 13
'chapters' of which I've set the 'heading' to be CHAPTER TITLE (default in
template). Several 'sections' of which the 'heading' is set at SECTION
TITLE (default in template). These pull nicely into my TOC. No problems so
far.

I would like to include a 'SECTION A, SECTION B...' at the top of each
'chapter' and then have that 'section' also show up in my TOC. For example:
GENERAL POLICIES . . . . . A-1
Access Policy . . . . . A-1

Each time I try to set this up, I get the message about not having a
'Multi-list' setup. I've read it many times, but can't seem to wrap my brain
around what it means.

In that same area... each time I try to add a 'Chapter A' at the top of my
Chapter page and format the numbering, it changes the page numbering at the
bottom. I suspect these are somehow related.

What am I missing?

Thanks for the link, but that doesn't exactly fix my problem. Maybe I didn't
explain myself well enough.
I don't want to change the page numbering at the bottom/top of the pages.

In the TOC for each 'Level 1 Heading 1 (Chapter Title)', I want it to show
an A, then each Section will show the page number.

Thanks!

The only way to get chapter numbering included in the TOC is to include it
in the page number.

Hello Barb

I'm using Word 2007. I have 2 questions relating to the same issue.

My 'document' has a cover page, TOC and over 300 pages. There are 13
'chapters' of which I've set the 'heading' to be CHAPTER TITLE (default in
template). Several 'sections' of which the 'heading' is set at SECTION

what template have you used (a custom made, or did you download it from
a public source)? By "default in template" you mean these styles have
been present there?

I would like to include a 'SECTION A, SECTION B...' at the top of each
'chapter' and then have that 'section' also show up in my TOC. For example:
GENERAL POLICIES . . . . . A-1
Access Policy . . . . . A-1

Naming anything (in your case: a paragraph style) "section" in Word can
be misleading: a section is something very specific in Word, and has
nothing _directly_ to do with how you manage your chapters (i.e., it's
not something higher up in the hierarchy than, say, a "Heading 1" style,
because it has nothing to do with styles at all).

That said: if you want to repeat "Section x" on all pages of your
"chapter" sections, you simply put a STYLEREF field to your section
title style into the header of these sections.

[If you only want it to appear on the very first page of a new chapter,
you insert it into the first page's header only.]

Each time I try to set this up, I get the message about not having a
'Multi-list' setup. I've read it many times, but can't seem to wrap my brain
around what it means.

When exactly do you get this error? When trying to setup the page
numbering? When trying to parametrize the TOC?

I would like to discourage "folio by chapter" to begin with. If you
restart your page numbering in every section, it's getting much harder
for a reader to find a given page.
