Numbering Pages in Table of Contents by Chapter or Section

ID: Q76606

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5

SUMMARY

Because Microsoft Word for DOS versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5 can produce a table of contents from a single letter code, it is possible to create multiple table of contents within a single document that have different page numbering schemes. This is helpful if a document consists of more than one chapter or section and each chapter or section starts numbering its pages at 1.

For example, you can create the following table of contents:


Setting Up
Overview                                    1-1
Using SETUP.EXE                             1-2
Customizing Word                            1-5

Using Word
Getting Started                             2-1
Creating or Loading a Document              2-3
Entering text                               2-4
Saving a Document                           2-6

To create each separate table of contents and its unique page numbering scheme, follow these steps:

Create the table of contents entries for the first table of contents by preceding each entry with the hidden letter code ".c.".

After you designate all of the table of contents entries, from the Library menu, choose Table (Word 5.0) or from the Insert menu choose Table of Contents (Word 5.5).

Word 5.5

In the "Create Table of Contents from" field, choose Codes.

Select the default code of "C".

In the Page Numbers "Separate by" field, type ^t for the tab character and type the characters or numbers you want to appear in front of each table of contents entry. For example, to create the page numbering 1-1, 1-2, and so on, type ^t1-.

Click the OK button or press ENTER.

Word 4.0 and 5.0

In the "from" field, select Codes.

Select the default code of "C" in the "index code" field.

In the "entry/page number separated by" field, type ^t for the tab character and enter the characters or numbers you want to appear in front of each table of contents entry. For example, to create the page numbering 1-1, 1-2, and so on, enter ^t1-.

Press ENTER.

If you create each new table of contents for the next chapter or section of the document, repeat steps 1 and 2 with the following changes:

If you create entries for each new table of contents in step 1, use a different letter code each time. You can use any letter codes except i, g, d or l.

Enter the new letter code for the next table of contents in the Library Table "index code" field (Word 4.0 and 5.0) or the Insert Table of Contents "codes" field (Word 5.5). For example, if the entries for the next table of contents are preceded by a letter code of ".e.", type e.

Enter the new characters or numbers to appear in front of the new table of contents. For example, to create the page numbering scheme 2-1, 2-2, and so on, in the second table of contents, enter ^t2- in the "index/entry separated by" field (Word 4.0 and 5.0) or the "Page numbers separate by" field (Word 5.5).

Word creates each new table of contents at the end of the document. A division break (Word 5.0) or section break (Word 5.5) separates each table of contents.
