Any ideas?...thanks, Kelly.
Kelly, I don't know how you are "telling the TOC" to number pages -- it has no role in that process. In individual files, you set the numbering properties in the file. When dealing with a book however, you must set the numbering properties for the files from within the book window. Those settings will override whatever is set in the files themselves. (Unless, in the book window, you set the numbering to Read from File, which sounds like the culprit here.) 1. In the book window, select the first chapter and set Format > Document > Numbering to start at 1. 2. Select all the following chapters and set them to Continue Numbering from Previous Page in Book. 3. Save the book file and then update the book, generating your TOC.
