Don't use an offset for the page number on page 5. Instead,
restart page
numbering with 1 on that page, using the technique explained here:

Thanks.
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. :(
Don't set the page number to zero; OOo interprets that as meaning
"continue the page numbering from the previous page". On the page
that
you want to be numbered 1, set the page number to 1.
If that doesn't fix the problem, we can try further diagnosis. 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.)
