General ⇒ Page numbering & TOC

[ivanwest]

Hello again,

Back for more beginner questions, if I may.

For my thesis I need my Annexes to be numbered A1, A2, A3,.....
How do I get the "A" to work. I also need this numbering in the TOC.

Thank you in advance for any assistance, it is always greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

try

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\thechapter{A\arabic{chapter}}

before your Annexes, if chapters are used. In case of sections it's similar.

My apologies,

I mean the actual page numbering, not the section or chapter numbering.

Hope you can still help

No problem. The topic title said it, but I've just read the message text. Change the line above to use the page counter instead of the chapter counter:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\thepage{A\arabic{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}

The next line causes the page counter to be reset to 1, now it begins with A1.

Perfect, thank you very much.
