The trick is to place a left curly brace before the "1":

    ...T{1 - 15...

The left curly brace means "treat the next character as a literal
character, rather than interpreting it somehow".

You should indicate the Papyrus format code for "From page#-Thru page#"
(namely, "28") for _both_ the SP and the EP fields. As of Papyrus Version
7.0.16c the result will be what you desire.
