Can Text Label & PAGE Field be combined?

[binar]

Following on from thread https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...numbering.html, the field code I'm using for the page numbering of all 11"x17" ODD pages looks like this:

FP-{ PAGE \* Arabic }/(FP-{={ PAGE \* Arabic }+1} blank)

which dislplays as what is shown in BOLD below:
FP-5/(FP-6 blank)

However, when I execute the command "References -> Insert Table of Figures" the table WORD 2007 generates is missing the "FP" label in the List of Figures (LOF). In short, it looks like this:
FO - 1. Diagram #1.............2-1
When in actuality the Military wants it to look like this:
FO - 1. Diagram #1.............FP-1
(Without the "2-" Chapter number included).

I have studied the Field Code reference guide Microsoft has available at this link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/field-codes-in-word-HA010100426.aspx


My goal was to see if I could figure out a way to tweak the code below:

FP-{ PAGE \* Arabic }/(FP-{={ PAGE \* Arabic }+1} blank)

So that the "2-" Chapter Number will not display in the LOF page number column and in its place have "FP-" label display instead.



Is there a TEXT Label field available that can be coded next to PAGE field so that the text "FP-" will show in the LOF page number column? Code below may help you visualize what I'm trying to accomplish:

{ "FP-" PAGE \* Arabic }/({={ "FP-" PAGE \* Arabic }+1} blank)

If I can accomplish this, my hunch is that WORD 2007 will include the "FP-" label in the page number column of the LOF.

In closing, my thinking is if WORD 2007 has no problem displaying the "FO-" label in the LOF Figure Number Column, why then can't it show the "FB-" label in the LOF Page Number Column?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Binar,

About the only way you're going to get a TOC like that is to convert the one Word generates to plain text, then use Find/Replace to change the '2-' to 'FP-'. Unfortunately, that also means your TOC will no longer hyperlink to the content. To retrieve that, you'd need to manually insert PAGEREF fields (via Insert|Cross-reference) or hyperlinks to the relevant headings.
