I'm using OO 3.2 on Linux Ubuntu 10.04.
The test document is in ODF format (.odt).
I want to set an arbitrary starting number for a page, starting at
the second page of the document where the first page is a title
page and has a different page style from the second and following
pages.
I have followed these instructions:
"""
use Insert-> Fields-> Other.
On the Fields window select the Variables tab.
Under Type select Set page variable then under 'selection'
click 'on' in the Offset box and enter 60 .
Seems I missed something here. You should click the "Insert" button
after setting the On and 60.
Under Type, again, click on Show page variable.
This time under Format click on Arabic (1 2 3).
Then click the Insert button at the bottom of
the window.
"""
Alas, no page number is visible. However, if I look at the "Edit"
menu item, I see "Undo:Insert Field" has active. Can it be that
something is keeping the numbers from being visible. If so, nothing
is revealed if I activate "Nonprinting characters"
Just a comment also:
Seems very strange to me that when you choose
Insert->Fields->Page Number,
that there can't be an option to choose the starting number.
Anyway any and all help is welcome. Thanks.
Sending vid off list.
Sorry for the mistake.
Andy
