RE: TOC Hyphenated Numbering

["Olive, Eric" <EOlive@xxxxxxxxx>]

Colin,

One easy way to get chapter number prefixes to appear in your generated TOC
is as follows:
1. Open your Frame book.
2. Select the first chapter (i.e. the first non-generated file).
3. Choose File>Setup File
4. Type the following in the Prefix field: 1\+ (\+ gives you a hyphen)
5. Set Page Numbering to Restart at 1 (assumign you want: 1-1, 1-2; 2-1,
2-2; 3-1, 3-2; etc.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for each chapter: 2\+, 3\+ etc.
7. Save and re-generate the book.

This works on a PC. It's been a long time since I used Frame on Unix or Mac
so I can't recall if the prefix syntax is the same for those two platforms.

Framers,

I have page numbers in my footers that include the chapter number. I've used
a Running Head/Footer on the Master Page with the designation
<$paranumonly[ChapterNum]> to pull in the chapter number.  Thus, I get the
following for each chapter footer, respectively: 1-1, 2-1, 3-1.

My question is this: How to I get the chapter number "prefixes" to appear
with a hyphen before the page number in the table of contents? Thus:

Chapter On Telephones   1-1
   Telephones                   1-3
   Headsets                       1-7

Chapter On Wires            2-1
   Wires                            2-4
... and so on.

I figure that this must be done with the special text flow on the reference
page, but how?

Thanks mucho!
