Bad TOC numbering with suppressed Style-driven Heading numbering

[Guest]

I'm having trouble with Style-driven TOC and Heading 1 numbering. Page
numbering includes x'ref'd Heading number, e.g., <Heading #>-<Pg #>.

Using Word's Heading 1, customized to add "Chapter #," if I delete the
automated "Chapter #" from the first instance of the Heading 1 style (Exec
Summary), then the TOC displays thusly:

Chapter 1 ----> Page 2-# (NOT 1-1 as it should)
Chapter 2 ----> Page 2-#

However, if I allow the "Chapter #" numbering to stand, then the numbering
is correct.

I have found nothing unusual when using the View/Hide feature.

I tried leaving the "Chapter 1" numbering in front of the Executive Summary
and changing its font color to white, but that makes all subsequent Heading 1
chapter numbers disappear as well.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,

-Hans

Eh, forget it. Looks like the style-driven numbering must exist for it to
work in the TOC...

Well, you can certainly restart page numbering without including
chapter numbering with your page numbers. You do this with section
breaks; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm (and
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/PageNumbering.htm).

But, yes, chapter/page numbering does depend on outline numbering; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/ChapterNumber.htm. (Alternatively,
you can use SEQ fields, but the principle is the same: numbering is
present in the document text.)

Hi Stefan --

Thanks for the links. I've got mvps.org in my Favorites -- should've checked
them first, I suppose...

I think there's a bug. For kicks, I right-clicked on the automated numbering
"Chapter 1," which, in the TOC had been incorrectly displaying page *2*-#,
not 1-#. Upon doing so, and with an F9 TOC refresh, the page numbering was
corrected.

I'm not sure how/why right-clicking helped, but make sure that outline
numbering has been correctly setup as explained at
