Re: Page renumber problem
Johnny: Thanks for your reply. The photos are anchored to the page. I have found that I must anchor them to the page to keep them from migrating to the wrong page, as they have a tendency to do. But thanks for your insight. Do you have a suggestion about how to prevent photos from migrating to the wrong page, unless they are anchored to the page? If there is a different method of keeping the photos on the page where I put them, then I wouldn't need to anchor them to the page.

Re: Page renumber problem
Dan Johnny: Many thanks. Your observations were the key to getting my renumbering to work. The problem appears to be solved; since I have tried Dan's suggestions used Johnny's observation on seven similar files having graphics and so far it works fine.

Then anchor the graphic as a character. This keeps the graphic in its proper place. Dan Original message From: Dennis B.

Page renumber problem
My operating system is Windows 7 I have open office version 4.1.1 I am writing a book with many appendices that have photos. Page numbers are in a footer. I have no problem renumbering most of these so the result is consecutive page numbers from appendix 1 through appendix 60. The problem occurs with renumbering pages for some of these appendix files of two or more pages having photos. Each appendix file has a heading which becomes the first paragraph. I put the cursor in the heading; click format/paragraph/text flow and change the page number. When I click OK on the files I have a problem with, the page number changes; BUT the heading moves to the end of the file. In some cases the first page content is deleted also. So the result is the heading either at the end of the file, or at the beginning of a blank last page. I did get page renumbering to work successfully one one file that previously gave problems as described above. I changed the spacing between the heading and the first photo on the page. Then the page renumbering worked successfully. But this same solution did not work for other files with the same problem. This problem also occurs for files on which I previously was successful in changing the pages. In these cases, I just needed to increase page numbers by one due to my editing which resulted in one more page. But this next page renumbering caused the same problem described above. I would appreciate your advice on how to solve this problem. DBJensen P.S. I previously asked this question on December 10, 2014, but did not receive a reply.
