FM8.0 on a Windows Vista platform I'm sure there's a simple answer for this, but I've really tried all I can think of and can't seem to find a way to get rid of the preceding hyphen for a page number within a footer.
Like it or not, I'm trying to place just a single, lower-case Roman numeral in the footer of my TOC. So with the file open and Master Pages view selected, I choose Format > Headers & Footers > Insert Page # What I get is a hyphen preceding the pound-sign variable or placeholder or whatever it is. I've checked Format > Document > Numbering and tried to make sure there is nothing in the Chapter box. I've checked Format > Paragraph Designer > Numbering (just to see if a hyphen is included in the numbering equation) but there is no numbering scheme to found there at all. I've checked Special > Variable > Edit Definition and deleted the unnecessary building blocks for Current Page # (leaving only <$curpagenum> with no preceding hyphen) and, for whatever reason, that didn't work. Note that in the rest of the book, I do use a chapter number with hyphen with page number combo. But I don't want it that way in the TOC and I don't want to designate the TOC as section 0. No comments, please, on my choice of document or numbering decisions. So short of actually typing in an i and an ii and so on, what else to do? -- Kenpo in Atlanta
