Can you send me a document off list that shows the problem? I want to
rip the document apart and verify that this is not a bug in OOo. If it
is, then I will file a bug report. My expectation is that the following
pages are of a different page style, or at least using a different footer.

Greetings from a newbie, all.
I have made a discovery that might be helpful to folks who are having
trouble paginating. I had written a document and wanted to add page
numbers. Nothing fancy, no roman-to-Arabic transition, just, y'know,
consecutive numbers on consecutive pages.
It was too much to ask. I followed, meticulously, instructions from
the Oo help menu, a book on Linux, and several web sites. The various
instructions were incompatible, but that's all right because none of
them worked. I would get "1" on page 1, right where it ought to be,
and empty footer fields on all pages after that.
After uninstalling, reinstalling, and calling up some vocabulary I'd
forgotten I knew, I discovered a solution by accident: Set up
pagination BEFORE you add the text. If you've already written it, as
I had, do this: In a BLANK Oo page, set up page numbering. Then copy
and paste the document you've written into that page. The whole thing
comes out properly paginated. Well... It has so far.
This is of course completely different from Word or WPerfect, where
you can add pagination to the document after you've written it. And
NONE of the sources I consulted made any mention of this. How was I
supposed to know it?
Or am I still missing something?
