Hi Nancy,
You might try checking the currentpage# variable defnition in the Index
Master Pages. It could be that the <$curpagenum> variable definition may
have been changed to <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum>. If so, deleting the
<$chapnum>- building block should clear up the problem.
Best,
Baruch Brodersen
