Default Insert page numbers in table of content in msword

I have a word document with Appendices page numbers as A-1, A-2 etc. Here ” A-“is a text and 1,2 are inserted page numbers.



In the table of content in appendices it just pick up 1,2,3 etc as page numbers. I want A-1, A-2 etc as page numbers in the table of content.

How do I do that?

Word version I am using is 2016.

Thanks for help!

Sorry, it was not very useful,
1. I already tried the format pages option- I could not find anything additional.
2. The page refers to older versions mostly.

Regards

The information from previous versions is still useful because Microsoft haven't changed this. The key information is right at the top of your screen grab
"Your chapter headings must use one of these built-in styles"

Make sure your Appendix title is an automatically numbered style and is one of the Heading x series. I normally assign the Appendix title as Heading 7 to leave a couple of heading levels available for Appendix sub-headings.

This ONLY works if your Appendix style is ACTUALLY one of the built-in Headings.

The important thing is that you need a section break each time you want the page number to restart. You need to use the built-in headings for page numbers to pick up the heading numbers. To instruct Word to pick up the heading number, make use of the Page Number Format dialog box (access that dialog box once per section).

The functionality has been the same in Word for many years, and it is covered in Shauna Kelly's article.

This question has also been posted in the TechCommunity at Insert page number in table of content - Microsoft Tech Community where I have uploaded a sample document. The sample document is very simple in the sense that there are only two sections: one for the body text and one for the appendix. If you want more page number restarts, you'll need more sections.
