I have LO 3.5.7.2 on Xubuntu 12.04. I am creating a document that has 18 pages of front matter, after which I want to start page numbering (I don't need numbers on the front matter). I want page 19 to be numbered page 1.
Something seems to have happened between the last version of LO that I used and this one. Now there are always a default footer and header that appear when I mouse over them. Page 21 starts with "Chapter 1" centered at the top of the page. I placed the cursor in front of it and entered a section. However, doing so added a line break so that "Chapter 1" is now on the second line. If I delete the line break apparently it deletes the section marker. I'm not sure of this, however, because I can't find a way to make section markers visible. It might still be there, because if I try to insert a section it shows Section 1 and assumes I want to label the new one Section 2. And assuming I can figure out how to enter a section without an added line feed, or that my section is still there, how can I create a footer that exists only in that section? And how do I enter a page number in the footer with a -18 offset, because I already tried that and it won't accept a negative number? I tried the Help but it didn't explain any of these things. E.g., for page number offset it just says "enter the number for the offset" - not a word about negative numbers. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
