Hi!
I have a question which the 'Help' menu could not help me with.
I am writing a "book" of personal family stories. However, I am having trouble
with numbering the pages. I want the first eight pages with roman numerals. The
narrative itself starts on the ninth page. I want the numbering for this section to
start on the page following the start of the narrative and be numbered 2 in the footer
and so on.
I've gone to Insert - Fields - Other - Variables - Set page variable and then
got stuck there and the instructions I downloaded did not help.
Can anyone explain how this is done?
Help, please!!!
The answer is ... Page Styles.
It sounds to me like you need three page styles: 1. For the first 8
Roman numeral pages; 2. For the first page of the narrative (no page
number); and 3. For the rest of the narrative (with page numbers
starting at 2).
A full explanation of page styles and how to use them is beyond the
scope of an e-mail note. I suggest that you go the the OOoAuthors
publications and read the chapter of the Writer guide that deals with
page styles.
