The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You made a book file for all the chapters, right? That is the first thing
you
need to do. Once you have all the chapters in the book file, select each
chapter
in the book, one at a time and choose File --> Set Up File. For each
chapter,
select Restart at 1.
In the Set Up File box, you will also be able to add a prefix to the
chapter.
That is where you number the chapter 1-, 2-, etc.

> I am currently working on a book. My chapters are paginated separately,

> Also, creating this chapter made my TOC a total mess.: How can I make the

> Thanks for your help in advance.
