I do. I set First page on the first page, and following the first page should be style of Index. Another break on the Index page and the 3rd page should be Default. > o The "Change page number" option changes the number of the new page from > what it would otherwise naturally have been.

The previous version of OO acts differently then 2.4 when inserting a page break and changing the page numbering... For instance my first page should be a cover page (no page number), the second page should be of type Index. The index page has a table of contents. It should be page 1 and display in roman numerals. The table of contents might be more than one page. Following the table of contents is the document proper (whose numbering should begin at 1). Adrian
