I'm using OO 3.2 on Linux Ubuntu 10.04. The test document is in ODF format (.odt).
I want to set an arbitrary starting number for a page, starting at the second page of the document where the first page is a title page and has a different page style from the second and following pages. I have followed these instructions: """ use Insert-> Fields-> Other. On the Fields window select the Variables tab. Under Type select Set page variable then under 'selection' click 'on' in the Offset box and enter 60 . Under Type, again, click on Show page variable. This time under Format click on Arabic (1 2 3). Then click the Insert button at the bottom of the window. """ Alas, no page number is visible. However, if I look at the "Edit" menu item, I see "Undo:Insert Field" has active. Can it be that something is keeping the numbers from being visible. If so, nothing is revealed if I activate "Nonprinting characters" Just a comment also: Seems very strange to me that when you choose Insert->Fields->Page Number, that there can't be an option to choose the starting number. Anyway any and all help is welcome. Thanks. -- Tim tim at johnsons-web.com or akwebsoft.com http://www.akwebsoft.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
