I have a 30 page Writer document but OOo thinks it is 32 pages. The
extra pages print, but do not appear on the screen. Specifically,
Writer thinks pages 3 and 4 have an extra blank page after them. When I
place the cursor on page 3 the status bar on the bottom of the program
window says I'm on page 3. When I place it on page 4 (the real page 4)
it says I am on page 5. Yet no page appears on screen between 3 and 4
or between 4 and 5.
The document has two sections. The first section is four pages long,
except that Writer thinks it is six pages because of the mystery pages.
The remainder of the document is in section two. The only reason for
the two sections is that I want a header on all pages except for the
first four.
The layout is applied with four page styles - left page no header,
right page no header, left page with header, and right page with
header. Other than the headers the pairs of page styles are identical.
All four styles are my own; I am not using the pre-installed left and
right page styles, nor did I base my styles on them.
I would assume it is something in the left and right no-header page
styles, except those styles are also applied to pages 1 and 2, and
those pages both print without an extra page following them.
This is OOo 3.01 on Intrepid, installed with the 3.0 download and
upgraded online to 3.01.
I've never seen anything like this and I'm out of ideas. I could use
some suggestions. Anyone?
There was a manual page break (Ctrl+Enter) between 3 and 4. I
backspaced over it so 3 and 4 would run together. Afterwards Writer was
happy to tell me the document was 30 pages long instead of 32. And
putting the cursor on page 3 and 4 displayed the correct page number in
the status bar. Then I recreated the manual page break. Afterwards the
pages remained only 3 and 4. So the problem was that something was
screwy with the manual page break.
Afterwards I discovered 8 of 9 bookmarks had been deleted. Why? They
were all on pages long after 3 and 4. I had to recreate them all
manually.
And then I discovered that all the several dozen formulas that were in
table cells on later pages had disappeared. Turns out they were still
there, but not visible on screen and they wouldn't print. But I could
select them. And once selected I did Ctrl-x to cut each one to the
clipbard and then Ctrl-v to paste it back. Afterwards they reappeared.
I thought version 3.01 was supposed to be a bug fix. :(
