Jennifer... you'll have to number your chapter headings to do this.... I
forget why, but you do.
Then when you're in the page number format from the headers/footers, choose
the heading number (I used h2s) and it'll set up the prefix.

> Subject: Word page/chapter numbering question
>
> Hello-
> A colleague is attempting to use Tech-tav macros (only alternative I know
> to
> Master Documents feature) to allow her to keep chapters of a word doc in
> separate files yet still allow table of contents, page numbering, etc. to
> number properly across files. Her page numbering scheme uses chapter-page
> number (i.e. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 ... 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 etc.). Because the chapters
> are
> separate word documents, Word thinks each chapter is ch. 1. We cannot
> figure
> out how to get Word to let us specify that a chapter is something other
> than
> 1. Any help is appreciated.
