custom page numbering for Appendixes eg. A-5 for Appendix A page .

[Guest]

I need to create a custom page number for my appendixes that will appear in
my table of contents as well. I need to have the appendix letter appear
before the page number. I have been working on this problem for a couple
hours, and it is alluding me. Any help would be great. Thanks

Susan Barnhill's MVP article
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm would be a good
reference. You're technically doing "back matter" but the same principles
apply.

I'd suggest as well:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/NumberingAppendixes.html

Although FrontMatter is surely a brilliant reference that covers 90% of the
questions involved in documents that require title pages, etc.

By the way, it's Suzanne.

Oy. As an Allan frequently referred to as "Allen" or "Alan", my apologies to
Suzanne.

That particular article would not be helpful with regard to appendix
numbering. For that you need a combination of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm and
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numbering/NumberingAppendixes.html. The
trick is that the only thing you can add to the page number and have it show
up in the TOC is the "chapter number," which must be the paragraph number of
an autonumbered heading in one of Word's nine built-in heading styles. The
number doesn't have to be displayed (it can be Hidden), but it must be
applied to the style. If the appendixes have headings such as Appendix A,
Appendix B, etc., however, then this is a relatively simple solution.
