SEQ Field for Page Numbers and Table of Contents

Anonymous

When I am in a Word 2007 document with headers, they are from multlists and which are linked to the headers when creating the mulitlist. One of my headers, Header 2, shows up first as Section 1.1 as in multilist set up, under the enter formatting for number, I put in the word Section-1.1 and that also sets up the numbering for the heading I use going forward.

When I cross reference to the number as the paragraph number in the cross reference, it always shows up as Section 1.1, not just the number 1.1, and I read someplace that if you right click the cross reference, click on Toggle Field Codes, the field code that shows up is { REF _Ref354083577 \n \h }. I then add at the end of the field code ‘\t’ and save it, update the field, and the cross reference shows up as 1.1, not Section 1.1

So in the paragraph when I want to refer to an Exhibit I am adding at the end of the document, I refer to the Exhibit in the paragraph as “Exhibit 1.1”. And do it by typing in the word Exhibit and the cross reference to Section 1.1, with the field change to “\t” and in the paragraph is shows up as “Exhibit 1.1.

Then as a new page at the end of the document, which is separated, I click on Heading 9 which is set up from the mulitlist and linked to Heading 9, with just the word Exhibit and not a number type thru the multilist process. So when I click on Heading 9, the beginning of the new page is the word “Exhibit” and and then I do the same cross reference and it shows up at the top of the page, Exhibit 1.1.

So at the bottom the Exhibit page, I would like the page number to be look like either of these: 

"Exhibit 1.1 Page 1",

"Page 1.1-1"   or just

"1.1-1"

 So I put in page number 1, and did the same cross reference an field change, and it shows up on the page number as 1.1-1. And if  I type in the words Exhibit before it or format the page number as Page 1, it shows up as Exhibit 1.1-1 or Exhibit 1.1 Page 1

In the table of contents when it refers to the title of the page, it shows up as Exhibit 1.1, but the page number with respect to this Exhibit page, still only shows page 1, not 1.1-1

In addition, instead of putting in the page footer the cross reference to Section 1.1 with the field adjustment, I found out to cross reference to the Heading and the referring is to Heading text, and the number 1.1 comes into the page number, but not in the table of contents re the page number.

I read recently that there might be a way to add SEQ fields next to the page number in the footer, and so I did iti, as to the Identifier, I put in the word "Exhibit'

Is there a way to use this Field and include the cross reference to the numbers I cross reference to as stated above, and then modify the TOC field to recognize the changes to the Page number that then includes the number 1.1- before the page number in the table of contents and any words I want before the page number in the Table of Contents.

Also, since the header is not set up with a number, there is no Caption to refer to, so is there a way to add a SEQ field or other field before the cross reference at the top of the page or make the cross reference the Caption for the heading.

And based on any of the foregoing, what do I change to the TOC field to show the number 1.1.-1 as the page number?

Thanks so much, as the help in the past from many people has been great!!

    As indicated in the link I posted, providing links to your cross-posts is a matter of common courtesy, so people don't waste their valuable time retracing ground that has been covered elsewhere. Abuse peoples' goodwill by not providing links and you'll find yourself being expelled from some forums and, in the remainder, no-one being interested in responding to your posts.

    I posted it in several places as my history is diferent people answer different questions.

    So nobody has mentioned the way to solve this problem, so that's why I posted it in other places as well.'

    I so hope somebody here can answer it as I have received great input from this forum in other areas.

    Thanks to all, and hope to hear back.
