ToC displays wrong page number format

Post by jmt356 »

The page numbers of the front matter of my document is set to lower case roman numerals (e.g., as p. iii). However, in my ToC, the pages appear in Arabic numerals (e.g., as p. 3). Why does my ToC show my document front matter as p. 3, rather than p. iii?

How did you format the page numbers?
- If you used Page Number > Format Page Numbers... to select i, ii, iii, then the TOC should use the same (if necessary after updating it).
- But if you used Insert > Field, then selected Page and specified a format, the TOC will NOT reflect this.
Best wishes,
Hans

I inserted the page numbers through Design | Page number. I then right-clicked the page number and chose Format and selected the roman numerals format.

Just now, I followed these steps again and for some reason, roman numerals rather than Arabic numerals appear in the ToC, so this issue has been resolved.
