>I have LO 3.5.7.2 on Xubuntu 12.04. I am creating a document that has >18 pages of front matter, after which I want to start page numbering (I >don't need numbers on the front matter). I want page 19 to be numbered >page 1. OK, I figured out that the footer is turned on in the page style. That's cool, because I want a left and right page style anyway. I modified the default left and right page styles to turn on the footer. Then I applied the right page style to page 19 and the left page style to page 20, after which I noticed that Writer had thoughtfully applied right and left page styles to all the remaining pages in the document. Cool. Unfortunately, Writer also applied right and left page styles to the first 18 pages also, so they now have the footer on them as well. I don't want the footer on the first 18 pages. So I applied Default page style to the first page, after which I noted that Writer had thoughtfully applied default to page 2, and 3, and 4 ... and continuing to the end of the document. No! I want only pages 1 - 18 to have the Default page style. So I went to page 19 and reapplied right page, and to page 20 and applied left page, and again Writer applied them to the first 18 pages as well. After some poking around I discovered that is controlled by the Organizer tab, where you stipulate the following style. Unfortunately, the selection is a drop-down that contains only the styles that currently exist. You must choose one of them. There is no "None of the above" option. Whatever you select, as soon as you apply that page style to a page the style specified in the Organizer for the next page will automatically be applied to the end of the document. What this boils down to is that all the pages in your document must always be the same style. Should I just give up on Writer for this project? -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
