You'll see how easy this is to do once you actually do it.All right. You do this by first placing your cursor inside your header or footer, then insert the page number field (Insert -> Fields -> Page Number). You must also understand that you don't just type in a number into the header or footer-you have to insert the page number field. This may sound complicated, but trust me it's not. A page style window will pop up, and fron the header or footer tab, you can activate the header for every page that uses that page style. From the S&F window, click on the Page Styles icon, right-click on the page style you want to add a header/footer to and select Modify.
The best way to do this is via the Style & Formatting window (F11). This means you have to apply a header and footer to your pages. VIDEO TUTORIAL: how to insert page numbers into Writer document.įirst you must understand that you insert page numbers into the header or footer of your document. Inserting the page number field into a Writer document is easy. Last night I tried doing it and it numbered the first three pages 1, 2, 3 then on the page where I want the actual numbering to appear and start, it had 1. It's not that I want to number the first page something other than 1 but that I want to put page one further down within the document.Ĭan I use the same method from the Guide and get the same results or is there something else I should do? I looked through the Writer Guide and printed out pages 150 and 151 which covers Numbering the first page something other than 1, but I'm not so sure that will fit my needs. I have three pages of text before the actual story begins and I would like the page numbering to begin on the page where the story begins. While the document I am writing is a manuscript, Master Documents seem to be too complicated for my needs, so I'm going with just a normal Writer document, which I can hopefully set to suit my needs. Second, I performed a search on this issue and neither of the two items which were found had anything to do with my issue.
I can tell you that my operating system on that machine is Windows Vista.
First, I do not know what version of Open Office I'm using as I am making this enquiry while at work and my OO is installed on my laptop at home.
