Default Adding Characters to Page Number

I want to be able to add some characters to my page numbers. E.g. C1.1, where everything up to and including the period are fixed and the number on the end is the actual page number. I want this complete string to be included in things like the table of contents as well.



Is it possible to do this using fields?

Yes you can. Just go to the footer, type whatever you want, like C1. And right away go to fields in the insert menu, select numbering, and chose ‘page’. That’s all.

No, that's not how to do it - not if the text is to be included in the TOC. To see how to do it correctly, see:

I don't want to give my chapters numbers as there is only one chapter per document. Basically what I want to do is create my own style of page number. So for example you can select - 1 - as a page number style instead of simply 1. How can I create my own adding my own characters?

So the characters I have added are C1. but the automatic page number is 1. So the page number appears as C1.1.

Hi Dave,

You can do whatever you like with the way the page numbers appear in the footer (even using field maths to display a different number), but unless you conform to Word's way of doing things, you'll only get the raw page number in the footer.

SO how would you create a variation of - 1 - so as to look like * 1 *, for example?

AFAIK, you can't - you can only use one of the built-in formats. You could, of course insert the asterisks before & after the page # in the footer (or add a numeric picture switch coded as \# '*'0'*' to the field), but they won't be picked up by the TOC.
