Printed documentation & page numbers

In my printed documentation, the page numbers start over after the Table of Contents; is there a way to continue the numbering instead?

Figured it out.

Apparently, there are two ways to create a numbered Table of Contents:

  • In the Printed Documentation Outlook SSL form, select ProjectName in the Table of Contents drop-down menu to give ToC and Help pages separate page numbers.
  • Select <Default Table Of Contents> to have continuous page numbers from cover page to final page.

However, looks like no way to have no page numbers in the ToC.

I have unmarked your reply as Correct because it isn't, at least, not if you are using RoboHelp 11, 2015 or 2017.

You create a master page with the numbering where you want it. You then apply that master page to the TOC and Chapter Layout sections in your print layout. Then make sure you don't tick the Restart Numbering check box.

Using Master Pages is described near the beginning of Printed Output Using Adobe RoboHelp 11 and above on my site.
