Hi all, I posted this several days ago on comp.openoffice.questions and haven't received anything I can use to solve the problem. Any ideas out there?
This may be a tricky one. I am helping to produce a dictionary and things are nearing completion thanks to the outstanding support from the Openoffice groups. I've got an .odt file laid out exactly as it should be. Entries are in paragraph form using the hanging indent style. The only hard line breaks are to separate one entry from another. I need to create a unique header for each page. On the header we should see the first 3 characters of the first entry on the page and then the first 3 characters of the last entry on the page. Note that these are usually not the first and last lines, respectively since entries may run over (soft) page breaks; there are no hard page breaks in the document. I think I know how to left/right justify the 1st and last entry characters (using left and right tabs) but how do I get this into a header? It seems to be that creating a page style is the way to go. I don't think there's a way to find soft page breaks using a regular expression. What I want to know is does such a page style for dictionaries already exist? I don't want to reinvent the wheel here. If so, a link would be greatly appreciated. I've looked fairly hard for one but come up empty. If, indeed, none exist, then any hints about to create the page style (if that's the best way to do it) would be greatly appreciated. I'm using OOo3.1.
