Hi Shari,
I can not comment on the discuss list because I do not monitor that
list, but I have added some comments inline. FYI, I think that pretty
much everything that you have stated could certainly be asked on the
users list.

I've been a background watcher for a while and I'm confused where to
post what and how to search for open issues. I'm not sure if the issue
query just isn't working or I'm doing it wrong. I have accessed the
help area and I'm unable to see where I'm doing something wrong. I am
a newer user to OOo, I've been using it for about 9 months now, but
haven't really delved into the "correct" use. I have taken the last
two days to do that and have run into a few issues. Hence my searching
the issues and also not knowing what list to contact with my problems.
Yes, learning to "search" for issues is tricky for a "first timer".
My 1st issue involved the bullet problem which I have sense worked out
but have been unable to find if this is an open issue or not.
I do not know what the "bullet problem" is so I can not comment. Happy
to hear that you worked it out.
Problem 1:
Is there anyway to restart the page numbering if you used ctrl-enter
to create page breaks and then assigned page styles?
I believe the answer to be no. That said, I know how to change the page
number (and I know how to do this in a macro), but I was not able to
find this in the documentation.
Problem 2:
When using Insert>Manual Break
Page break
selecting: change page number
you end up with a blank page between sections.
This sounds odd to me. In my testing, if I am on page 1, an odd page,
and I insert a manual break, the behavior depends on the next page that
I choose. For example, if I go from 1 to 6, then there is no blank page.
If I go from 1 to 5, however, then there is.
So Problem 1 should be posted to the user list and where does problem
2 get posted to?
After you verify that this is indeed a problem, and not user error, then
the issue list should be checked to see if this is a known issue. If
not, then a new issue should be created. The issue should indicate the
version of OOo used and a list of steps to duplicate the problem so that
ANY user can do this. In other words, you should probably start with
1. Use File | New | Text Document to open a new document.
2. Enter a little bit of random text
3. Use Insert | Manual Break to open the insert page break dialog. (or
what ever the commands are)
...
What I noticed is that if I am on page 1 and I tell it to go to page 3,
then I can use page preview and see a blank page listed. If I am on page
1 and go to page 6....
I am runing out of time... sorry.
How do I query for problem 2 in the Issue Tracker? I've searched by
selecting all issue types; selecting word processing in the component
field; selecting all status's; platform as all; I selected the 3
listed 2.0 versions and entered the words: blank page in the summary,
a description entry and keyword box I didn't not find this and only
received results with the description entry query. So at that point do
I post this to which group or should I file an issue? I did find
through reading some of the other issues issue# 3910. However 3910 is
for version 1.0 not 2.0. So again what should a conscientious user do?
3910 also deals with duplex printing which I am not trying to do,
however all the blank pages printed. Is this because the beginning of
a new page style should "always" print on the right side?
anyway, any help with my problems and where exactly I should post what
to would be very helpful. I am not completely computer challenged and
have been on the net for years. it's no wonder someone completely new
get confused here...
