I'd hope so! I tried it......"NADA!" I get a grayed out area in place of a number of the first page, but no pages after that. The only way I might be able to get them numbered is to do it page by page, simply typing in a number, but haven't tried that because it's NOT what I should have to do in OO! I'd messed with this a long time ago, except this is the first document that I really don't want a number on the first page. I did mess around with some of the settings, but it's not about to work properly. Thanks, Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft. We have no bugs in our software, Never!
