This > works reliably for me on OOo 3.0.1 Ubuntu 8.10 (and WinXP and Mac). Your instructions do work. The problem is that my 3.01 on Ubuntu seems to be buggy. It sets the page number and then 15 minutes later it forgets it and the page numbering for the second section is back to absolute. Your instructions are not the problem. The problem is a bug. I think it is a bug, that is - it could be my failure to follow the instructions correctly.) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
