Greetings, I am formatting a short story collection for CreateSpace, and I'm having an issue with formatting. I want to have NO headers or footers of any kind on the title page, dedication, table of contents and foreword. I would like the first page of each story to have a page number, but no header. All other pages, I would like page numbers and a header that is different on the right an left pages.
I hope that is all clear. I have read several forum posts about page styles, and I know that what I want is possible. But the posts I have read either use exaples that do not pertain to what I am trying to do, or are written in an esoteric language that I find hard to follow. I need the kindergarten explanation. How do I tell the page style of the page my cursor is on? How do I change the page style of the page my cursor is on? How can I make the title page, dedication, etc. A different page style than the chapters thenselves, and how can I make the chapter title pages a different style than the remaining pages? I have tried to follow directions from forum posts, but the best result I got was having a header and footer on ebery other page. I tried inserting page breaks and selecting the next style for the secrion that follows, but when I turned headers or footers on it would put them on pages both above and below the page breaks I inserted. I am terribly confused and frustrated, and I feel like I'm not smart enough to figure this out. Please help, and please give me the plain English version!
