Let me try to understand your requirement. You have the following page-sequences in your document
Page sequence for Index Page sequence for Chapter1 Page sequence for Chapter2 ....... And you want the page number to start off from 1 on Chapter 1 instead of Index. If this is what you want, you can set initial-page-number on the page sequence for Chapter1 to 1 and then not mention this attribute on the remaining page-sequences. Regarding page sequence for Index, you mention the initial-page-number to 1 as well. The page number gets reset whenever you mention the initial-page-number property on a particular sequence. Hope this helps. ________________________________ From: Michael Niemann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 4:09 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: How to keep pagenumber over several page-sequences That makes sense. By removing the initial pagenumber for the chapter block the count starts with the index page though. How can I make it start with 1 without setting it in the block?
