Re: single character page numbering (with no hyphen)
Are you applying the same right/left master pages to the TOC as you're applying to the body chapters, or did you create a different template for the TOC? When you update the book, is the Apply Master Pages option cleared?

Re: single character page numbering (with no hyphen)
I'm not sure what you're doing wrong but hopefully this will help... Our TOCs are set up this way and first, go to the master page and find the page number. We define ours as a variable with this value: $curpagenum You should define the page numbering format at the book level, so from the book, right-click the TOC, click Numbering, click the Page tab, and make sure it's set for roman numerals. Although this sounds like what you're doing, something is not right or it would be working for you. Finally, it doesn't make any difference if, in the Numbering dialog box, you have something entered in the Chapter tag. That won't automatically insert a hyphen in your TOC. Save the changes to the book and regenerate.
