------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Sep 14 15:31:50 +0000 2007 ------- The feature davidwlegg initially described is common in my company and it's not odd. It's simple and clear for long documents. My comment to this issue (if I were the initiator) would be: With fields it is possible to create a page number with a first level chapter number on each document page (header, footer or wherever): 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, ... That's needed for long documents (e.g. instruction manuals) when each chapter should start with page 1. You can refer to page 1-2, 2-15, ... to identify the right chapter and page. But in indexes/table of contents it is not possible to make the same classification analogous to the page numbering system created with fields. In the "Entries" tab of the "Insert Index/Table" dialog box it is possible to insert the chapter number of each (heading) level, but then the numberin system looks like: 1-1, 1.1-2, 1.2.15-7 and not 1-1, 1-2, 1-7. So, a reader will be confused about the different page numbering system of the TOC and the pages itself. Suggestion: It should be possible to insert fields in the "structure and formatting" form of the "Insert Index/Table" dialog box that update automatically when the index/TOC will be updated. Or at least it should be possible to insert a first level chapter number in the "structure and formatting" form of the "Insert Index/Table" dialog box to create page numbers like 1-2, 5-37. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
