>Hi All,
>
>I need some advice on page numbering for a multi-chapter document with
>several appendices, a combined acronym list/glossary,and an index (in
>that order).
>
>Right now:
>All chapter pages are numbered by chapter number and consecutive page
>(2-1, 2-1, 2-3, etc.).
>Four appendices immediately follow the chapters and are numbered
>similarly (A-1, A-2, A-3, B-1, B-2, ...)
>This is followed by the combined acronym list/glossary (with no page
>numbers yet).
>Finally, the index brings up the rear with I-1, I-2, I-3.....
>
>So how do I designated the acronym/glossary pages?
>Should I make it another appendix? (the SME doesn't really like this
>idea)
>Can I use X-1, X-2, etc.?
>Is there a standard?
>
>Thanks,
>
