Define section numbering
By default, page and chapter numbers in a book are numbered consecutively. Using Numbering & Section Options,
you can restart page numbering at a specified page, add prefixes to page numbers, and change the numbering style of
both pages and chapters.
You can define a section prefix to label section pages automatically. For example, if you specify A– for Section Prefix
on page 16 of a document and include the section prefix, the page will appear in the table of contents or index as A–
16. Text you type for a section marker appears when you choose Type > Insert Special Character
> Markers > Section
Marker.
