Thank you for this, David.

I used the Prefix feature to get the document pages numbered correctly, but the pages panel still shows pages 4A, 4B, and 4C as A, B, and C.

Section Numbering is selected in the Preferences, General, Page Numbering menu…but in my Numbering & Section Options window, I don’t have the option to select Automatic Chapter Numbering. Could this be the reason it’s not working?

Oh, this is a good tip! I was just looking for the option…

Thank you, David! It drives me nuts when people don’t number their pages correctly.

One additional tip: If you want page 4A to be a left-hand page (a common situation in teacher’s editions), you need to disable page shuffling in the Pages flyout before you do so or ID will automatically shuffle all your pages and create a huge mess.
