IS THIS POSSIBLE AT ALL

[Robert Evans]

Hi Michael,

It is possible - provided that your section numbers are generated using paragraph autonumbering. 

First, if you've not already generated an index for the doc, do so.

Then, in the generated index file, view the references pages. There should be a page called IX (with a flow called IX). This page controlls the sort order of the index, and other things like the appearance of index entries.

One of the paras on the page should be:

	<$pagenum>

Change it to:

	<$paranumonly[Section]>-<$pagenum>

Where "Section" should be changed to the paragraph tag you are using for your sections. It's a good idea to use a non-breaking hyphen (esc hyphen h) so that the section and page numbers don't get split in the index.

Regenerate the index and you should get the required X-PP format.

Rob

Hello Framers,
here I'm presenting an impossible task. :-).
I have a 300 pages document which consists of 9 sections. I need to generate an index for it. Page number format should look like this: X-PP, where X is a section number and PP - page number. Had I separate files, that would not be a problem - make a book and off you go. I have 1 and I don't want split it for certain reasons.
So, is there a way to accomplish this numbering in one file? I know in InDesign that is totally possible with Section'ing the document. What about Frame?
 
Michael
