First of all, sorry for my bad english...
On the contrary, it's quite clear (and much better than my Portuguese!).
Hi, I'm a brazilian user and enthusiast of
OpenOffice, I love the OO suite, but every time
that I need to change/dislocate the number of
the pages in some document, I always have the same problem:
I just go in Insert>header>default; and after
click in the header, I use Ctrl-F2 and insert
the page number in the field, and everything works perfectly.
But if I change some value in the menu Offset,
to make some variation in the number of the
pages, the pagination just disappear... Al the
numbers, in all pages, just disappear. Same
problem if I insert the number and click with
the right button and select field and change the menu Offset...
I don't know why OpenOffice behaves like this,
but it does. In my experience, Writer is happy
to change page numbers this way, but cannot cope
with a number on any page which is larger than
the actual number of pages in the document.
Here's a workaround:
o Don't set an offset where you have.
o Instead, put the cursor in the first paragraph of the document.
o Go to Format | Paragraph... | Text Flow |
Breaks (or right-click | Paragraph... | Text Flow | Breaks).
o Tick Insert and set Type to Page and Position to Before.
o Tick With Page Style.
o For "Page number", enter the first page number (not the offset).
And here's another:
o Forget the Page Number field.
o Instead, go to Insert | Fields > | Other... | Variables.
o Under Type, select "Set page variable".
o Under Selection, select "on".
o Under Offset, enter your offset.
o Click Insert.
o Under Type, now select "Show page variable".
o Click Insert and Close.
I trust this helps.
