It is a little tricky... Try : insert > fields > other. In the resulting dialog box (in the 'document' tab) select type:page & select:page numbers .. bottom right corner of the box there is an 'offset' field. In that box put -2 (if you want current page numbers to all be minus 2) then 'insert'.
I've assumed that you've already got your cursor in the header field or something similar. Alternatively you could follow the method described in : http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf It is similar, but has you enter the page number, then double click on the field to edit the properties.. When you edit, you enter the offset... /paul On 5/24/06, Nathaniel Wildebuer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
