I teach a class for paralegals in legal technology. I was utterly stunned
that the textbook did not include any information about styles in its
chapter on word processing. (Instead it explained the difference between
"save" and "save as.") So I included my own information about styles.
I wouldn't dream of writing a document without using styles. I will admit
that AOO's page styles take some getting used to, especially since its
completely foreign to the MS-Word model but once learned, they provide a
level of document control unmatched anywhere else.

Subject: Re: Page Number Question on Writer
Jeffrey,
Doug's workaround will do for the current document (which I assume you're
being bugged to provide yesterday.)
But do take the time to learn page styles from the references already
provided by others. It'll save you a world of trouble going forward,
especially if you chain them: Title Page's next page style is Author; Author
leads to TOCpage; TOCpage's "next style" is "First Page" and so on. Get that
down, and all you have to do is write; Writer takes care of the rest.
Styles are one of the main strengths of AOO, so pay attention to paragraph
and character styles, too. They can be very handy for quoted text, sidebars,
and tables among other things.
Regards,
Jim Plante

Hello,
I'm finalizing my eBook manuscript on Writer. 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!

An obvious work-around for the second-best solution: Make the first 3
pages
a separate file without page numbers. 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.

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!

OK, let's try this:
Write the two files, one three pages long with Roman numbers
at the bottom of each page, and the other 50 or 100 pages,. or
whatever it is, with Arabic numbers starting at 1.
When you have them done, open File 1, and on the fourth page,
insert File 2, and then save the whole thing as File 3 and send File 3 to
your publisher.
