In your footer, in front of the page number variable: insert a Chapter 
Number variable (Special > Variable, Chapter Number).

In your book, right click the Glossary and select Numbering. Click the 
Chapter tab, and change Format to "Text". Type "Glossary-" in the box to 
the right of "Chapter #:".

Pulling a "custom" page number into a TOC or Index

2008-12-18 Thread blamb...@comcast.net
I am building a book in FM 8 (on a XP Pro machine). At the end of the book I 
have a chapter that is a Glossary, and several chapters that will serve as 
Appendices.

I would like the first page of the Glossary to be numbered "Glossary-1". I can 
make this appear on the page by editing the footer on the Master Pages. 
However, when I run the TOC update, it only pulls the "1". It leaves the 
"Glossary-" off.

I have been reading through the User Guide that comes with FM 8 and I am not 
seeing any instructions for doing this.

Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Brian
