Hi Stefan,
I appreciate your help but I'm a bit confused about where to use this SEQ
field. I'm not overly familiar with them although I've been doing some
reading this morning.
First, the pages I want with a separate page numbering schema are set apart
as a section within the document using section breaks and the style Heading
1. Conveniently enough, it is section 2 of my document as well as being
numbered "2" (2. Synopsis). Also, I'm unsure of what you mean by your
direction "...include the paragraph in the TOC". The heading is part of the
ToC already.

I would like the page numbering in the footer of this section to use an "S"
instead of a "2" as the chapter number (i.e., S1 of S2 not 2-1 of 2-2). I
did this originally by typing an S before the Page number field. Using the
SEQ string you provided below didn't give me that so I must be doing
something incorrectly.

When I added the \s switch to the ToC, the page numbering for my section
showed up as Page 3 which is the actual page number but not what I need.

I hope I'm being clear. As you can see I'm very confused about what to do
next.

You will have to add the "S" manually next to the page number in the footer
of the relevant section; that is correct. In order to make the page number
restart, set that option in the Page Number Format dialog box for the
section.

To display the Page Number Format dialog box, activate the header/footer
area, and then do one of the following:

- On the Header and Footer toolbar, click the Format Page Number button
(Word 97-2003).

- On the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, click Page Number, and then click
Format Page Numbers (Word 2007).

To include "S" in the table of contents, do the following: Place the
insertion point in the "Synopsis" paragraph. Add the following SEQ field:
{ SEQ test \r 19 \* ALPHABETIC }. Press Ctrl+F9 to add the field delimiters,
{ }, and type the code as shown. Press F9 to update. Format the SEQ field as
hidden so that it won't print.

Use Alt+F9 to show field codes. The TOC will look similar to { TOC \o "1-3"
\h }. Add \s "test" as I described in my previous message, and then press
Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. Update the TOC.

From: songinthedark on 7 Jul 2008 11:19
I'm getting closer! I got it to work until I updated the ToC (update whole
table). Then all of the page numbers changed and the "S1" switched as well.

It switched to...
1. Signature Page....0-2
2. Synopsis.............0-3
3. ToC....................0-5
4. LoA....................-10

Am I correct when I say that in order to use this functionality, I can only
update the page numbers and not "the whole table"?
Thanks for your patience.

When the page number displays with a leading zero, that indicates that
something is wrong with the field code. Did you make sure to use \s "test"
in the TOC field code and SEQ test in the SEQ field, that is, did you make
sure that the sequence names are the same?

Also, please mention which version of Word you are using.

From: songinthedark on 8 Jul 2008 08:27
I'm using Word 2003.

My ToC is coded thus: TOC \O "1-4" \H \Z \U \S "TEST" within curly brackets.
My SEQ is coded thus: SEQ TEST \R 19 \* ALPHABETIC \* MERGEFORMAT within
curly brackets.
