I am using version 2.0 of OpenOffice.org. My problen is that because I am writing chapters of a book, I need to insert page numbers starting with a different number for each chapter. It has been a nightmare to try to do this. But one of the experiences is puzzling: If I go to Insert/ Camps/Page Number/insert while having my cursor in "pie de página" (my program happens to speak spanish!) I get my pages numbered STARTING WITH 109! I thought that somewhere I would get access to the number 109 and be able to change it as needed, but the program has resisted all my attempts. (Some how this number has reached there, but I wonder how...) If I could change that number, then my problems would be solved.
One of the things which I tried was Insert/Campos/ Others/Page, and then I had access to three chioces: 1 Número de Página (does the same as stated above) 2 Previous Page/insert which numbers my pages from 108 3 Next page/insert which numbers my pages from 110. Trying to save the document and going to Previous Page/insert does not start with 107, but stays with 108. Unfortunately there is no line there to choose a user defined Page Number. I would very much appreciate your help which would make OpenOffice much more useful for me, saving me having to translate my files to Word, bringing them to a machine having Word, getting the correct page numbers, and bringing those fixed files back to my machine. Open Office seems to be very good, probably much better than Word, but this fly in the soup is most unpleasant. The help section, stubbornly refuses to help with this. "Cambiar Page Number" is not une of its entries. I will very much appreciate ti get help with this. Sincerely, Octavio C. García [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Octavio Garcia
