This changes the displayed number, but not the internal page numbering [1], which is probably what's wanted here. Better get it right, like this: http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/word_processing/044.html Guido [1] For telling the difference, insert - in both cases - a Table of Contents. With version "offset", the ToC doesn't show the changed numbers. With the other version, the ToC shows the changed numbers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
