I sort of have it working. That is, setting the page number on the break works - for a few minutes. After adding more text it suddenly decides that page numbering for the second section should revert to absolute page number. I can set the page numbering to 1 for the new section, but it doesn't 'stick." When it fails to 'stick" I go back, delete the section break, re-enter the section break, setting the page number to zero again, and start over. It stays for a while, then suddenly it forgets the special page numbering for the second section and I have to do it all over again. This is on OOo 3.01 Ubuntu. It would be a great solution if it really worked. :( -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
