Do you already know the style-concept of OO? All this problems can be solved with styles. When importing the HTML-files into the writer-file you assign the paragraph-style "heading 1" to the very first paragraph of each HTML-file. This allows you several things: - you can define in this paragraph style that a page-brake is inserted before. - you can also define that there shall be used a certain page-style from now on and the page-counter starts with the number you want. (You find this options here: register 'text flow' when changing the paragraph style) - the paragraph styles "heading" mark the outline numbering (tools/outline numbering) which built the entries of table of contents. - the paragraphs with the heading-paragrph-style can be inserted into a header or footer so that it appears on every page. _________________________________________________________________________ Claudia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
