Re: [libreoffice-users] no numbering for first pages
You're not alone - I too have not figured out the page numbering system; [I gave up when templates were mentioned] But there are simple solutions although not necessarily efficient; either (1) wait until the paper is finished then insert manually; or (2) insert manually as you write - in this method you'll have to redo the numbering at times ;-) or (3) skip the numbering ;-) If anyone actually knows the solution to this problem, I sure wish he'd respond on-list for all to see - and in simple language, please.

Open a new Writer document. 2. Enter some or all of the text that you want on your cover page (or simply press the Enter key a few times). 3. Press F11 to open the Styles and Formatting window. Choose Page Styles from the icons (hover with your pointer on each icon to open the note). Double-click on First Page for assigning the First Page style to the first page of your document. 4. Place the cursor at the end of the first page. Select Insert-Manual Break from the menu bar. 5. Select Page Break. Then choose the style to use for the next page (pick one from the menu - such as Default). Then mark the check box called Change page number. In the box below this check box the number 1 should appear. Click OK. 6. Now you should have two pages. Put the cursor in the second page, then select Insert-Footer-Default from the menu bar. A footer area will appear on the second page. 7. To insert the page number, select: Insert-Fields-Page Numbers. A number '1' should appear on the second page of the file. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
