How to control (chapter-page number) paging?
Hi,
I'm having some issues trying to use "chapter - page number" in separate documents. The situation: I have created chapters 1 and 2 with sub chapters 2.1, 2.2 etc for Document A. Now I've created Document B as a continuation of Document A but begins with sub chapter 2.4. The format I'm using for my paging is "Heading1 - Page Number". Apparently since I'm starting with a Heading2 format (chapter 2.4) in Document B, is there a way for the paging for "chapter" to begin at 2? Note that I have other chapters in Document B, so the "Heading1 - Page Number" now begins with chapter 3 instead of the intended 2. Kindly advice. Thanks. Pat |

Two questions up front: 1) why do you (have to) split, and 2) why not split at the end of a level-1-chapter?

How to control (chapter-page number) paging?
Dear Robert,
In answer to both your questions, 1) why do you (have to) split, and 2) why not split at the end of a level-1-chapter? The reason for the split is due to the document size as there are many screen captures included in the document. Apparently in my case chapter 2 is pretty lengthy and thereby I've to split it up. Hope that answers your questions. Rgds, Pat "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote: Hi Pat PatJ wrote: I'm having some issues trying to use "chapter - page number" in separate documents.

I'd always split up logically if at all: Filesize these days should not be an issue, and if it was, don't embedd the screenshots or other grafx/objects (only link them). If you must split, then don't bother about the numbering but compile a central document for printing (inserting all chapters via INCLUDETEXT-fields). That way, the numbering will be correct in this central document. If you need to have "live" numbering in the smaller documents, there are a couple of ways to get there. The most elegant probably to insert a LISTNUM field at the top of these documents that points to the listtemplate of the outline numbering scheme used in your headings. This field sets the numbering to the desired state. In your scenario, at the top of your second document, the relevant field would have to look like this: { LISTNUM MyHeadingNumbering \l 2 \s 3 } The field itself will show 1.3 (and it can be formatted as white or hidden.
