The previous version of OO acts differently than 2.4 when inserting
a page break and changing the page numbering...
For instance my first page should be a cover page (no page number),
the second page should be of type Index. The index page has a table
of contents. It should be page 1 and display in roman
numerals. The table of contents might be more than one
page. Following the table of contents is the document proper (whose
numbering should begin at 1).
This is all very sensible and standard, of course (though I could not
have guessed this detail from your earlier messages!). And Writer
will do it all for you very conveniently.
I think the only potentially puzzling behaviour here is what Writer
calls "automatically inserted blank pages". Writer considers that
you may wish to print your document double-sided and consequently
arranges that each odd-numbered page becomes a recto and each
even-numbered page a verso. So your second and third sections - each
starting at a new version of page 1 (or i) - will be forced onto a
right-hand page, with an extra blank page preceding them if
necessary. Note that these blank pages do not appear in the normal
editing view, but they are clearly visible in Page Preview.
If you wish to print the document double-sided, you will need to
print, as it were, these blank pages - unless you prefer not to
follow this system of page arrangement. But if you print
single-sided, you will not want to waste paper by doing so. In any
case, you can control the way the document prints at Tools |
Options... | OpenOffice.org Writer | Print | Other | Print
automatically inserted blank pages; alternatively, you can reach the
same setting on the fly using the Options... button in the Print dialogue.
I should be surprised if this behaviour is different from that in
earlier versions than 2.4, but I can't comment on that since don't
have them available to test.
