Help creating 2 part page number

[dfeder]

I am writing a response to a RFP and would like to start at page "1" for each new section (header 2). I would like the footer to indicate the section-page (3-1 for section 3 page 1) and have the same format reflected in my table of contents.

What I have now is that all the pages are showing up as page 1 in the table of contents and the section indicated on the footer is showing up as one less that the actual section/chapter (ie Chapter 7 is showing in the footer as 6-1).

If it will help , I can attach a sample copy of my document.

Creating Different Page Numbering Formats in Word
Large documents often require several page number formats in the same document. For example, the index pages may use Roman numerals (e.g., "i.", "ii.", "iii.") and the main document use Arabic numerals (for example, "1", "2", "3").

In this article, we describe how to setup different page numbering formats.

Setting up Page Numbers

To format page numbering for different sections in a Word document, follow these steps:

1. Click on the page where you want to start the numbering differently.

2. On the Insert menu, click Break.

3. Click Next Page, Even Page, or Odd Page, and then click OK.

4. Click in the first section.

5. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.

6. Click in the header/footer where you want to put the page number.

7. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Insert Page Number > Format Page Number.

8. In the Number format box, click the format that you want for the numbers in this section.

9. Do one of the following:

If you want the page numbering in this section to start at a specific number, i.e. other than the first number in the format series, click Start at under Page numbering, and then enter the first number that you want to appear on the first page of the section.

If you want the page numbering to continue from the previous section, click Continue from previous section.

10. Click OK.

11. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Show Next.

12. Repeat steps 9 through 10 for the page numbering in this section.

13. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Close.
