Pages: TOC Page Numbering

Postby hj » Sun Oct 08, 2006 6:42 am

It is possible to use different page numbering formats for seperate sections. ie. (1,2,3,4 & i, ii, iii, iv)

But, is it possible to have the Table of Contents reflect this change?

Say you're doing a business report with a executive summary. You would number the executive summary with roman numerals and the rest with arabic numerals.

Is it possible to have both roman numerals and arabic numerals in the TOC?

Regards,

Howard

TOC Page Numbering

Postby hj » Sun Oct 08, 2006 6:56 am

I answered my own question.

Here is the 'less than ideal' solution from the apple website.

If you've used a different numbering format, you can edit your TOC using this workaround:

Export your document as an RTF (Rich Text Format) document (from the File menu, choose Export, then select the RTF radio button in the resulting dialog).

Open the RTF in Pages (from the File menu, choose Open or drag the RTF file onto the Pages icon in the Dock).

Manually change the numbers in the Table of Contents section so that they match your page number scheme.

I guess it's one for the wish list.
