Adding Prefixes to Page Numbers
The default index structure works fine if you use page numbers throughout documents without a prefix. However, your documents might use chapter-based page numbering, in which case, you must make a slight change to the Building Block structure on the IX reference page. Just because you use chapter-based page numbering in documents does not mean that the generated index will automatically implement that same page numbering for index entries.
Chapter-based page numbering looks like this:
9-1, 9-2, 9-3 ... in Chapter 9 and
5-1, 5-2, 5-3 ... in Chapter 5, etc.
Begin this exercise to add a prefix to an index entry page number from the IX reference page of the Index list.
