Hi Kristen
I'm using OpenOffice to prepare a book. I would like the headers for
the right-hand pages to look like this:
Sec. [section number] [section title] [page
number]
I know that I can achieve this by editing the "Right Page" style, and
I know that I can include page numbers by inserting a Page Number
field. So far, so good.
But, OpenOffice doesn't seem to have any way to automate management of
section numbers/titles
When you use the word "section", I assume you really mean "chapter". Books
tend to be organised by chapter, not section. I assume you're using the
term "section" because of the way you've used another company's word
processor. ;-)
OpenOffice.org has an excellent way to automate management of chapters -
use styles.
If you format each chapter heading with the Heading 1 style,
OpenOffice.org will recognise them as chapters. After this, you just have
to insert chapter fields into your header. After placing the cursor where
you want the field, select Insert / Fields / Other (or just press
ctrl-F2). On the document tab, there is a section called "Chapter" that
allows you to insert chapter names and numbers.
Once you get the hang of this, I think you'll find it very easy.
If you have further questions, please ask.
Adrian
