Thanks, everyone for your helpful advice on hyphenated page numbers for appendices. I really needed some advice, and quick, and I was not disappointed.
I ended up doing the following: 1. Going into the Master Pages for each appendix and changing the <$curpagenum> footer to <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum>. (I know I could probably have done this using an import, but I was halfway through before I thought about it.) 2. Going into the book file, selecting Appendix A and having it use alphabetic numbering. (Also saying it needed to be "Chapter 1" so it would translate it as "A.") 3. Selecting Appendices B through E (from the book file) and having them use alphabetic numbering, continuing from Appendix A/Chapter 1. 4. Saving the book file. Thanks again, everyone. I really appreciate your help. Nina
