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. :( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
