Attributes

Description

<chapSep> (Chapter Separator Character)

Specifies the separator character that shall appear between the chapter and page number, if a chapter style has been set for page numbers in this section.

If the @chapStyle attribute is not present, or its specified heading level does not have an associated numbering format, then this value is ignored, since no chapter number is output by the field.

<w:pgNumType w:chapSep="colon" chapStyle="1" />

The @chapSep attribute declares that the chapter and page number shall be separated by a colon (e.g. 1:1 for chapter one, page one). ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_ChapterSep simple type (§2.18.9).

<chapStyle> (Chapter Heading Style)

Specifies the one-based index of the heading style applied to chapter titles in the document which shall be used as chapter headings in all page numbers for this section, by locating the nearest heading of that style and extracting the numbering information.

If the specified heading style does not exist in the current section, or does not have a numbering format, then any previous level heading format shall be used as needed as the specified chapter number. If no heading has numbering information and/or is used in the section, then the chapter and chapter separator shall be omitted from the page numbering data.

This means that for each page number in this section, the numbering value of the nearest Heading 1 style is used for the chapter value, and is followed by a dash, then the page n umber in that section. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_DecimalNumber simple type (§2.18.16).

<fmt> (Page Number Format)

Specifies the number format that shall be used for all page numbering in this section.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_NumberFormat simple type (§2.18.66).

<start> (Starting Page Number)

Specifies the page number that appears on the first page of the section.

If this value is omitted, numbering will continue from the highest page number in the previous section.

<w:pgNumType w:fmt="2"/>

Because the @start value is omitted, the page numbers in this section begin at the value of the highest page in the previous section.

This means that if the previous section ended in page 7, this section would start with page 8.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_DecimalNumber simple type (§2.18.16).
