Every time you change the format of page numbering, such as On or Off, Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, etc, you need to use a different Page Style, which style is introduced by the /Insert /Break /Page Break mechanism. This tutorial on Page Numbering may help: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=1221 as may this on Page Styles and headers/footers https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=44607 If your problems continue, I suggest you bring them to the Forum at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum where you will get speedy help. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
