Thank you very much Dan. With your direction and some experiments, I am able to achieve the correct page numbering. As you said, the key here is the use of style and manual break. OOo is really amazing. Btw, I wonder whether it is a small bug: I have 1 page. Then I insert a manual page break with Change Page Number to 1. When the break is inserted, there are 2 pages, but the number indicator on the left lower of the screen shows 3/3. Shouldn't it 2/2? -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 07:44:24 up 11:36, 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
