I have a document in which I must use a different page number than usual. To do this, I enabled a footer, inserted a page number, and it was 1. I right clicked the highlighted area, clicked Fields..., and tried to play with the offset value below. I needed number 10 for the first page. I believe I managed to see 10 at the first page, but no luck for the others. Any help?
yes, offset is not the best deal here. better, place the caret somewhere in your first paragraph, open 'format - paragraph - text flow', tick 'insert page', choose 'before' from the drop-down list, tick 'with page style', choose the style you need and set the 'page number' field to 10. the bad side is that page 10 will be not the first but the second page of the document. the first page will be invisible when editing but may reappear on printing, previewing or exporting as pdf. to prevent this, uncheck 'print automatically inserted blank pages' under 'file - printer settings - options' or in 'print' or 'export as pdf' dialogue. another defect is that the 'page count' field will also be incremented by one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
