Problem

Symptoms: A customer wanted to be able to create an Outline Style that would reference the page number and paragraph number on every paragraph in their document. For example, the first paragraph of a document that is on page one would be numbered 1-1; the third paragraph of a document that is on page two would be numbered 2-3. Solutions: This can be accomplished by creating a custom Outline Style (Shift-F5, 6, 9). However, the page number does not display on the document screen even though it displays in View Document and prints correctly.

How/Why:
To create the desired style, follow these steps:
1.      From a clear document screen, go into Paragraph Number Definition (Shift-F5, 6).
2.      Press 2 to change the default numbering method to Paragraph.
3.      Press 6 to select User-defined and then move the cursor after the period on level 1, backspace to delete the period, and then press F7 to exit the User-defined options.
4.      Press 9 to go into Outline Style Name.
5.      Select option 2 to create.
6.      Press 1 and type in a name for the style.
7.      Press 5 to go into the Codes for level 1 (the cursor should be highlighting the [Par Num] code).
8.      Select the option to insert the page number (Shift-F8, 2, 6, 3). This will insert a control B (^B) in front of the [Par Num] code.
9.      Insert a hard hyphen after the [Insert Pg Num] code (Home, -).
10.      Move the cursor to the right of the [Par Num] code and insert an Indent (F4), then exit back to the Outline Styles screen by pressing F7 twice.
11.      Select the style just created by pressing 1 and then press F7 to exit.
12.      Select Outline On and begin typing the document. The codes in the document will display a control B-paragraph number (e.g., ^B-3) in the document, but when viewed or printed, the ^B character is replaced with the appropriate page number.
