Hi,

My question is this. I have an extremely large document (500+ pages) that consists of Chapters, Annexes and Appendices and I wish to number the pages as follows:

Title page (i)
Contents page (ii) onwards (Should be an automatically updated TOC)
Amendments page (follow on from last contents page in same format)

Chapters:

1-1first number is chapter number second is page number.

Annexes:

1-A-1 first number is chapter number, second is annex letter third is page number of Annex

Appendices:

1-A-1-1 first number is chapter number, second is annex letter third is appendix number fourth page number of Appendix

For example 2-B-3-2 would be:

Chapter 2
Annex B


Appendix 3
Page 2


The page numbers would be held in the page footer. I have followed the instructions here for customised page numbers and have got that to work but can't figue out how to add the other levels.

The document will be created in word 2003

Thanks in advance for any help.

So the basic principle is that the chapter/annex/appendix numbers that need to appear in the page number must be using the 'Heading x' series of styles. Since you apparently want to reset the Annexes and Appendices counts after each Chapter you need to include the chapter number as part of the numbering for both the Annex and Appendix. This means that your example should have read:
2-B-3-2 would be:
Chapter 2
Annex 2-B
Appendix 2-B-3
Page 2-B-3-2

If you setup your numbering this way then the rest of it is easy. This makes logical sense since the numbers of each Annex and Appendix should be unique in the document ie instead of having two Annex B's, you actually want Annex 1-B and Annex 2-B.

Next, you need to configure the page numbers to include the heading numbering as part of the page number. Whilst you can do this with a normal page number preceded by a styleref field, that won't put the heading number into the TOC page numbers. So you need to put section breaks in front of each Annex and Appendix heading so the page numbers in that section can be configured correctly.
