Adding a prefix to the page number & getting it to show up in the TOC



Hi.

Windows 2000
FrameMaker 7.0p578 running in structured mode.
Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5

My book consists of unstructured chapters that each start on page 1.
I need to make a table of contents of these chapters that lists the data as:

<$paratext>\t<$paratext[Title]>-<$pagenum>

I know that won't work for an automatically generated table of contents.
So, how do I add a page-prefix to each chapter and how do I get that page prefix to appear in the table of contents?

(In proper english - I want the page number to be listed as Title-page#. E.g.: Templates-1, Templates-2, Variables-1, ..., Variables-47, rather than 1, 2, 1, ..., 47).

There's a tutorial for FrameMaker 6.0 online that doesn't quite work for FrameMaker 7.
I have the Complete Reference to FrameMaker 7 (McGraw-Hill/Osborne, Sara S. O'Keefe and Sheila A. Loring) which explains how to add a prefix to a given element; but not how to work with prefixes in an unstructured document.

Any help is appreciated.
