Your suggestion doesn't make sense, the Original Poster don't want a number
on the first page for obvious reasons.

Hello all,


After a recommendation from Peter Kovacs, I'm presenting my question to

you.


I'm a student at Norwich University (VT) and just downloaded new version

of Open Office 4.1.5. I'm creating a report and don't want a page number on
the first page. I've gone through the steps to place the page number on the
page but when I right click the number, the 'fields' choice I am looking
for is not shown, see below.

Thanks for your time!

Have you inserted a number (a digit, plain and simple) or used /Insert
/Fields /PageNumber?  This latter is how you should do it.  Your first page
should use Page Style First Page, with, on  its Organiser tab, the
following style set to use Default (or whatever other page style you
desire).

The Page Numbering tutorial at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=1221
will be helpful.

Openoffice crashing

2018-08-26 Thread Deb and Dave Tiek
I created a text document and before I could finish, OpenOffice crashed! I
was able to recover the document but the program crashed again before I
could do much more to the document. This happened three times in the space
of 20 minutes. I shut down my computer and left it alone for a couple of
hours. I started my computer again and stated up OpenOffice then tried
reopening the same document again. Before I could do an update to it,
OpenOffice crashed again. I tried looking for an update through the
OpenOffice Help page, but all I got was an error message. Update failure.

Apache OpenOffice has been a wonderful word processing program to use over
the past several years since discovering it and we have created a lot of
documents together. So I need to know if this is a temporary problem, or do
I need to find another program to create and update my work?

Sincerely,
DTiek


Trouble with text document

2018-08-26 Thread pittmmd


HiI created a document and saved it as a MS Word document for others
to be able to read, open and print it. The way I did this was to _SAVE
AS TYPE_: Microsoft Word 6.0 and got a message saying the document may
contain formatting which cannot be saved in MS Word 6 file format The
resulting document had a file type: Microsoft Word 97-2003.
When I tried to open the MS Word version, I get an error message:
"Read error.  This is not a WinWord97 file."  One other person has
said they can read it but can't print it as it is protected.
I'd appreciate any advice on correcting these issues.
Thanks for your time.
Mark
