Yes. And for page styles (which is what you should be talking about 
here), it happens that there is an even easier way than the general 
way, using the Styles and Formatting window, that others have 
explained. Character and paragraph formatting can be achieved by 
local formatting or through styles, but page formatting is achieved 
only through styles. If you go to Format | Page..., you will see that 
the panel is headed Page Style: , and changes that you make 
there are changes to the page style of the current page and affect 
all pages with that style.


The instructions said insert a manual break, [...] and page break. 
[...] At below the options is a pop down of styles.


Those are just all the page styles currently available, whether they 
are built-in, built-in but modified by you, or new ones created by you.


I use First page for the Title, expecting it not to have a page 
number, but it does.


The default First Page page style has no header or footer, let alone 
a page number. You must have inserted this. When you insert a header 
or footer, you modify the page style to have one.


If I knew how to use the tool, I could figure out the structure, but 
knowing neither makes it very hard to use.


That's correct, you do have to learn how to use the tool before it 
will become second nature.

It's not a question of what I understand or you don't. You said some

you. I asked what they were. If you say what they are, it may be 
possible to help.


When I right click on a paragraph, I get a pop down menu with 
Default at the top, ...


That's "Default Formatting", in  fact. And it's not (as you appear to 
think) a title for the menu but simply one of the menu items.


... and a list of properties. I assume if they're changed, it 
changes the default, not a good idea.


No: these items change local formatting of the currently selected 
text. The term "default" is often confusing. If you do change any 
styles, even ones that happen to be named Default, this changes those 
styles for the current document - as you may well wish to do. It 
doesn't affect the default in the sense of the default for your 
installation of OpenOffice - the styles in any new document are unaffected.



Towards the bottom is: Edit Paragraph Style...


This is irrelevant if you are still asking about page numbering, 
which is controlled by *page* styles, not paragraph styles.



So what needs to be done to get page numbering, centering, and fonts for:
The Title page,
the Copyright notice,
and the table of contents.


It's infeasible to present a complete introduction to page numbering, 
page styles, manual page breaks, tables of contents, and so on in 
e-mail correspondence. That is why people have referred you to 
appropriate helpful documentation. If you are good at reading 
manuals, you should find these a help. Once you have got the general 
idea of how to achieve what you need, it is very easy to ask 
questions about the detail and get helpful replies. Failing that, you 
may prefer to read a book, enrol in a course, join a club, get local 
help from a friend, and so on.


I would like the table of contents to have page numbers for the 
chapters, and it would be nice to have the chapter names come from 
the documents. Is that easy to do?


Yes. You need to give your chapter names one of the Heading paragraph styles.

Yes: that's easy.
o Put the cursor at the very start of the new page (created by the 
manual page break) - just under the tell-tale dark blue line 
displaying the page break.

o Press Backspace.
o This will remove the page break and you can re-insert it, this time 
choosing the desired new page style.

There are:
* Page Styles;
* Paragraph Styles;
* Numbering Styles;
* Character Styles;

Depending upon how configured, these styles can be used to trigger other
things.

In my example, a slight modification of Header 1, results in the page
style Right Page being inserted before the heading.

Title page that flows into copyright page that flows into
FrontMatterRightPage that flows into FrontMatterLeftPage, that flows
into FrontMatterRightPage, etc.

Then use Header One that automatically insert RightPage before the
header, after make that configuration.

Look at the page style for Chapter 1. It should be _Right Page_.
If it isn't, then the simplest way to correct it, is to modify the
Chapter header to force a page break before the heading, with a page
style of _Right Page_.

>If those  breaks were wrong, can they be replaced, or edited?

IMNSHO, manually inserting is begging for style / layout issues.  Much
better to configure the styles (page and/or paragraph) to flow into the
formatting you want.

That is the follow-on style that will be applied after using the first style; 
in my case I use the following sequence 
Heading 1 (shows as Chapter nn)
Heading 2 (Chapter title)
Heading 3 (section title)
Heading 4 (date/time of the action in this section - this will ultimately be 
eliminated from the finished work)
FirstPara (paragraph style, using Drop caps, set with first line flush left)
Default (standard paragraph style)
Default (continuing until I use another Heading 1 for a new chapter)

"Linked with" allows a style to be based on another style; not always 
available.  Any changes made to the linked style may echo through to the new 
style.

Initially use Heading 1 style for Chapter names.
Default setting for ToC displays the chapter names taken from the Heading 1 
styles and the page numbers of the chapters.

The built in styles are usually adequate for all but the most complex 
formatting.  They may be modified to suit the User's specific design 
requirements.

When one right clicks on a style in Styles and Formatting (also known as "the 
Stylist") one should get an option for New, Modify, Delete (Delete will not be 
available for built-in styles).  One should check that the option in the bottom 
bar of "Styles and Formatting" wind is set to "All" (at least initially) and 
that one has clicked on the icon appropriate to the styles one wishes to edit.
> 
> Is there a way to change the style selected when a break was inserted?

When using /Insert /Manual break to insert a Page break, one can select the 
page style to be inserted from the Style dropdown on that window.  If the 
"Styles and Formatting" window is open, the current style is shown highlighted 
- this works across the five style type selections controlled by the five 
icons. The style of the selected page is also indicated on the Status Bar, 
about 1/3 way across.  Status Bar is usually the bottom bar of OO Window 
(unless it has been moved)

Towards the bottom is: Edit Paragraph Style...

It brings up the style editor, which has more properties than the pop

In the editing screen there is an item that says: Next Style,  and the

I'm not sure what it's for, but it's obviously important.

Below it is another item that says: Linked with, the box has None in it.
I don't know what this does either.

Below it is Category, Text Styles, grayed out,

So what needs to be done to get page numbering, centering, and fonts for:
The Title page,
the Copyright notice,
and the table of contents.

I would like the table of contents to have page numbers for the chapters,
and it would be nice to have the chapter names come from the documents.
Is that easy to do?

One can certainly edit a style after it is used.  The best way to to this 
(works for all versions) is to use /Format /Styles and Formatting (or F11 key). 
 The window that then opens provides access to all styles; this access is 
controlled by the five icons across the top of that window.

The first icon gives Paragraph styles, next icon Character Styles, then Frame 
styles, Page Styles and list styles.

Press the 4th icon from left to display page styles.  The precise selection of 
styles displayed can be controlled by the dropdown menu on that window bottom - 
initially use "All styles",

Right click on a style and choose Modify from the popup.  This should allow you 
to turn off Header/Footer display on the First Page Style (from memory, these 
should be off by default).

For Information: columns flow text from one column to the next.  If you wish to 
cease the flow of text in one column and move to the next column for text 
entry, you must insert a column break.  Frequently the need for a column break 
indicates that the user has made a wrong choice - instead of using columns and 
trying to position texts beside each other aligned across columns, a better 
choice might have been to use Tables, where the texts can be aligned in cells 
across a row,

Page numbers are inserted into a ToC by the defining structures selected for 
the ToC.  My advice at present is to ignore the ToC and get  your document 
correctly paginated.  Insertion of a correctly formatted ToC should cause page 
numbering to automatically adjust to reflect the extra page(s) of the ToC.  Get 
pagination correct first.

My advice is to forget working on your main document for the present - it is 
too complex for initial learning and one is always worried that a wrong action 
will destroy it.  Make a short trial file and use that to set up sample page 
numbering.

Select the appropriate attributes for the appropriate styles.

I'd have to look at the document in question, to explain why it produces
the result it does. I suspect that it due to the inserted page not
having headers/footers in which page numbers can be inserted, and
forcing all subsequent pages to be of the same style.

Title page
Copyright page
Table of contents, would like the page number included.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
...
Chapter n.
Epilogue

The Title, Copyright, and Table were pasted into the TEXT block
at the beginning, separated by inserted Manual Breaks. If those
breaks were wrong, can they be replaced, or edited?

Does it need three separate TEXT blocks at the beginning?

The trick is to first set up the page styles.

Can a style be edited after it's used?
If so how is it done?

On the far left of the bottom command bar there's a toggle icon.
One view shows a list of files, the other functions.

At the top of the file list is an object called text.
The instructions implied the title, copyright, table of contents,
and preface are in this block.
The instructions said insert a manual break,
which brings up a list of three options, line break, column break, and 
page break. I don't know what a column break does, but the instructions 
said page break so it doesn't matter. At below the options is a pop down 
of styles.

[none]
Default
Envelop
First page
Index
Landscape
Right page
Left page

I use First page for the Title, expecting it not to have a page number,
but it does.

Do I need four text blocks in front of the files? Or can the four
sections go in one block? I would like the page numbers for the chapters
in the table of contents. Is the Index used for that?

If I understood the structure OO was creating, it would be easy to figure
out how to use the tool. If I knew how to use the tool, I could figure out
the structure, but knowing neither makes it very hard to use.

Sie haben viele Antworten erhalten, lesen Sie sie im Archiv der Mailingliste 
nach,
z.B. hier:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users-de@openoffice.apache.org/msg05557.html

Bitte machen Sie sich damit vertraut wie man eine Mailingliste benutzt.


meine Antwort vom 21.09. kann ich gerne sinngemäß wiedeholen:

ES ist nicht nötig mit der Kommandozeile zu arbeiten, denn UBUNTU kann das alles
auch per Klick:

-klicken Sie in der UNITY-Seitenleiste auf "home folder"
-klicken Sie im erscheinbenden Fenster des Dateimanagers links unten auf
Network-Browse network
-klicken Sie nun rechtsseitig bis Sie ihren NAS-Inhalt sehen und geben Sie auf
Nachfrage die login-Daten für das NAS ein

bei mir muss ich klicken:
--> Windows Network
-->
--> 

(so gerade nochmals getestet mit Synology DS211j und UBUNTU 14.04)

> Wo soll ich mich wenden wenn Sie nicht antworten?

z.B. an das Forum http://de.openoffice.info



Ich habe Sie ansnahmsweise ins CC genommen, Rückantworten jedoch nur an die
Mailingliste!

Jörg
