Hi,
I'm not sure this can be done, but ... going to ask anyway. XP Pro SP3 and Office 2002 and OO.o 3.1.1.
I am hoping to use Writer to accomplish the following in OO.o instead of Word?
Is there a way to reverse the order of pages in a Word document? Last page becomes first, next to last becomes next, and so on. Instead of 1, 2, 3, ... the physical appearance changes to 42, 41, 40 ... 3, 2, 1.
I have a Word document which is displayed backwards: In other words, the LAST page is actually page 1, next to last is page 2, and so on up to the first page, which is page currently page 42, but displays at the top of the screen display.
This is meant to be an onscreen reference, so printing in reverse order won't suffice; access is going to be onscreen. It's also hell to edit a document with reversed pages<g>! I made some brief tests as simply cutting/pasting the pages into their correct order but quickly got lost and botched the job; mainly because as soon as you move a page, its page number changes in Word, so without making each page large enough to see and comparing next/following pages, one gets lost pretty quickly. Thought about a macro, move bottom to position 1, bottom to position 2, etc, but I'm not able to get anything to work. I just don't know VBA well enough.
It's an almost-all text document, with only the first and last pages as graphic, so graphics don't worry me. Getting to read in the correct order does though. Since it came from a scanner that saved to Word format, it's also full of Word's Section Breaks, none of which are necessary. There is only one page needs to be landscape, so that doesn't worry me either.
I tried opening the .RTF version of the file in OO.o 3.1.1 and it looks perfect, except of course the pages are all backwards ordered.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this with OO.o? TIA, Twayne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
