I probably didn't explain what I need very well.  I've got a long, complex 
software manual that I'm creating.  Each main subject gets its own file, and 
its own chapter.  I'd like a separate table of contents for each chapter.  
Each chapter starts with page 1, so the footer has chapter number and page 
number.  This, as you say, is simple.
  
The problem arises because the client, not entirely unreasonably, wants a 
table of contents at the start of each chapter.  I need the page numbers in 
said table of contents to have the chapter number and page number, separated 
by a hyphen.  This is impossible to do using the TOC field code, because 
while there's a switch for a separator (what goes between the table of 
contents entry and the table of contents page number), it can only be one 
character long.  That means no hyphen, and no chapters higher than 9.  I know 
exactly how to code what I want, but Word won't let me do it.
