This is, perhaps, one of the main areas where OO could outdo MS Office.
I would assume that this function is fairly commonly required, when
you have a document with a cover for example, and yet it is
DIABOLICALLY difficult in MS Word and not much easier in OO.
Would it be beyond the bounds of possibility for a developer to write
some code so that you could insert the footer on page 2, click in it,
and choose "insert page number-start at no1", instead of having to
muck about with page breaks and styles and all the rest of the
difficult stuff?
There is a reason why OOo and other programs have templates: when
you use the same layout time after time, you use a template. So, create
a template with these things in it. Then when you need it, use it.
If you do this, you will also want to add the Templates and
Documents icon to the Standard toolbar. This makes it easy to access the
template.
