I am looking at an ODF document where the numbering for the first
page starts at 48. At the first page from the status bar on the
left, I read the following:
'Page 41 1/19'
'1/19' is correct and updates as I would expect, but what I am
curious about is the 'Page 41' at page 1, why not 'Page 1'? The
number following 'Page' increments by 1 as one moves from page to
page.
I welcome any explanations.
thanks
Place the cursor at the beginning of the document.
From the menus, select Format, then Paragraph.
Select the Text Flow tab.
Look under the Breaks section.
Are "Insert" and "With Page Style" checked, and the "Page number" box
filled with "41"?
This means insert a page break before the current paragraph (but since
there is no text before, it seems the page which would be before is
omitted) and give the new page the specified number. Hence that is page
41, the next 42 etc. - these are the numbers which will be used if a
page number is printed in the header or footer of on each page. Useful
if this document is part of a larger work.
The status bar is also telling you that there are 19 pages in this file,
and you are looking at the first of them.
Hope that helps clarify things.
Mark.
