Dear Sir/Madame,
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 could be even worse than that. I heard recently that Works is still being
shipped with Vista.
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.)
I agree with Richard on this point. We need to know more, Tia.

James;
I have never heard of Works being shipped with any Microsoft OS
distribution. It is however shipped pre-installed on systems from many
manufactures including, HP, Dell, etc. It is the manufacture that
installs it on there systems, not shipped with the OS. Now, that being
said, to the average user it amounts to the same thing.
Not sure why you think it is bad. I use works for certain things
on my systems. Depending on what it is you are doing and the complexity
involved, Works word can a usable tool. If I want more complex
formatting for a document or I need multiple sheets for a spreadsheet I
use OOo. You need to keep a few tools in the toolbox as there is no one
size fits all.

Keith
