Re: [users] footer stops showing page number
Hi, could somebody pleas delete me from this mailing list? thanks allan McLauchlan, Kevin wrote: Windoze XP and OOo 3.1.1. I have a Word document. It's about 230 pages long. It has footers on every page. Nothing in the footer except the page number. Around about page 119, the footer stopped showing the page number. I am showing Non-printing characters, Hidden paragraphs, and Field Names. I don't see anything that says manual page break on it. QUESTIONS: How to find where/why the footer stopped containing the page-number field? How to make it resume containing the page number? - Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.

I don't see anything that says manual page break on it. If there is a manual page break - as there very probably is - there will be a dark blue line along the top of the text area of the first page following the break. These lines are pretty invisible unless you are used to looking for them. How to find where/why the footer stopped containing the page-number field? You've already said it happens around about page 119: just examine the document and see. See the blue line at the top of the page? Why? Because the page style changed. How to make it resume containing the page number? Various ways, according to needs: o Apply the page style of the first part to the later parts of the document. o Modify the page style of the later part to include page numbers - most easily by simply using Insert | Fields | Page Number - and formatting appropriately. o Remove the manual page break by putting the cursor in front of the very first character on the first rogue page and pressing Backspace. I trust this helps. Brian Barker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Thanks. The manual page break was hidden in the start of a new chapter (which happens to have a thin black line...), so I danced a bit with getting the cursor in the right place, and finally killed the beast. After a while, jumping around among four or five applications, one loses track of what goes where. . . or what it looks like. - Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
