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.
Tia:
Barbara gave excellent advice on how to do page numbering in OpenOffice
Writer. (Basically two steps, like she said: Insert > Footer > Default;
and then Insert > Fields > Page Number.)
I, and I suspect others, however, are a bit puzzled by your note. In no
place do you mention that you're using OpenOffice. You say that you're
writing a document using Vista, but Vista is not a word processor, it is
an operating system.
Vista, along with most Windows systems, generally comes with two fairly
basic word processors, WordPad and Notepad. I'm wondering if there is
some chance that you're using one of these to compose your document,
rather than OpenOffice? If so, the instructions that Barbara gave you
wouldn't apply.
It would be helpful if you could write back (to the list at
[email protected], not to me personally; that way, many others, far
more knowledgeable than I am, can assist) and explain further
specifically what you're using for a word processor. (Reminder: Vista,
that you mentioned, is not a word processor, but is an operating system.)
