The only thing left to do is set up Roman numeral page numbers for the first three pages (title page, about the author and table of contents) - or possibly only give the about the author and table of contents pages Roman numerals - and then Arabic numerals for the rest. Also, the Arabic numerals must start with 1. As a second-best solution, I'm willing to have the first three pages have no page numbers at all, as long as the rest have Arabic page numbers starting with 1. I've struggled with it and read over the relevant Help file more times than I care to count. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Thank you very kindly!

Or just write the Roman numbers at the bottom of each page, using center justification. Then the remainder will be its own file with page numbers starting at 1. Now you can have most of the "best" solution. Two files doesn't sound like all that big a deal. --doug --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org Hi Doug, Actually, I'd've already submitted them in four separate files - thing is, the recipient strongly prefers the manuscript in one file only. Anything you can suggest under that constraint would really help. Thank you for your courtesy!
