Page Numbering Woes

[L'Amore]

Can anyone help? I have been googling away and playing around with fields and expressions trying to get this to work...



I am trying to change the page numbering format at the end of a document. Section break at the end of the content and then the appendices start. New page numbering but rather than start from '1' I am trying to make it start from A-1 or A.1 (or something similar but trying to get the field sorted first).
I realise I could just add the text before the number but i want it to be picked up in the TOC at the top of the document.

Any thoughts? I assume there is some nifty fields trick, inserting some string constant to prefix the page number but cant work out how.

Thanks for the help (I hope!)

Scroll down to paragraph 5 for details (although, the whole topic should interest you).

I suspect that the link JimP gave you is what you want.

Thanks JimP!
This was useful, gave me a poke in the write direction. Did not 100% follow it though.

FYI for anyone stumbling on this:
My solution wasn't that neat but worked.
I didn't want to split the pages by each individual appendix (although still can). In the end, I created an extra style, to introduce the appendices, formatted this to use lettered section numbering format but also formatted to hidden so it doesn't show, but allows me to use letter from the style to number by chapter, the A-1, A-2 format.
Each individual appendix is not numbered, just listed Appendix A, Appendix B, but with a style applied that includes it in the TOC.
It does leave me with a somewhat superfluous title for the appendices but it fits with the rest of the I had created a heading 0 that acts as document separator, so it is split into effectively 5 or 6 interlinked but separate documents (but which share the same TOC).

I don't know if that makes any sense but that's how I dun it!
