headers and footers sections

I generate Tables of Contents from documents. What I'm trying to do is add a
section or chapter number before the page number. I want it to look like 1-1,
1-2, 1-3 (Section 1-page 1, Section 1-page 2, Section 1-page 3, etc.). The
page numbering is not the problem, the section # is the challenging part.
Right now, I am simply inputting the section number and hypen manually, so
when I generate the TOC, I have to add it manually there, as well. Anyone
have a solution out there? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Via the Format Page Number dialog, you can have the page number
automatically include the Chapter Number

Hope this helps.
