newbie here
I need to insert page numbers in the footer that look like
Section 1.0 Page 1
Section 1.0 Page 2
then
Section 1.1 Page 1
Section 1.2 Page 2
etc

There is a master TOC at the begining that only has the 1.0 heading styles
Then there are Tables of Content for each Section 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc

1.0 Introduction...........1 ***** The TOC must be hyperlinked so
1.1 uiwqiuhd................2 you can jump to the page

Chapter number does 1.1-1 in the footer and TOC


but will not allow me to insert Page instead of the dash

Can this custom numbering be done?

Any detailed help would be appreciated
or a location on line where the answer is

If you want the "1.1-1" format in the TOC, then there is nothing you can do to get "Page" in there.

On the other hand, if you are fine with the page number alone (as suggested by your example), then you can manually add "Page" in the footer. You'd also have to insert a STYLEREF field pointing to the heading text and another STYLEREF field pointing to the heading number (Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field).
