Dear Sir/Madame,
I'm currently writing a document for work using vista which is the only
programme on my lap top which was highly recommended to me by the company who
sold me the lap top. However it appears to make a lot of very simple tasks
extremely unnecessarily complicated which costs a lot of my time which I do not
need. All I want to do is to pres insert page number and then I expect each page
to have its number on the bottom. This is what happened in Word xp but not in
Vista. Why is this? I am having great difficulty inserting page numbers in
numerical order due to the fact that even when I insert a footer and then go to
insert page number it only inserts one page number on one page - what is the
point of that? So I individualy tried to do it by hand but when I do that it
automatically changes it so that 4 is before 3 etc. Its very annoying. If there
is a way you could sort it please could you let me know.
A job that should take one second is taking me an hour of wasted time.
I would appreciate your help. Sorry if this email sounds short.
Kind regards,
Tia Danning.
Sorry you're having some difficulty here, Tia, but there are a few
differences in the underlying models used by Word and Writer, so some
things -- especially to do with page styles, as this is -- will be
different. This is actually a very easy task in Writer, too:
* Insert > Footer > Default
* In the footer area, set the alignment for the page number as you
want it.
* Insert > Field > Page Number
Now each page using that page style (Default, if you haven't set up
another) will contain a footer, and the footer will contain the
automatically-generated page number.
