Maddening problem here.
FYI: I only occassionally use the word processor. I am a programmer.
My wife is having this problem:
1)She creates page numbers for a document.
2)She creates footers for the same document.
3)She removes the page number on the first page.
She saves the document and when it is re-opened, all page numbers
and footers are gone!
What is going wrong here? I just numbered the pages in a two-page
document, saved it and re-opened it and the page numbers where still
there. Her document has 17 pages.
Looking forward to comments.
thanks
Page header and footer content are associated with the "page style" in effect when they are created.
What's probably happening is that all the pages have the Default page style, so any change to the
content while on any of the pages using that style get carried through to all other such pages. She
needs to apply different page styles to the first page and the remainder of the document, then she
can manage the header/footer content as desired for each independently. The easiest way to do this
is to set up the whole document to have the page numbers, as she has before, then get the cursor
onto the first page, bring up the Styles and Formatting dialog (F11), click on the page styles icon
(fourth one at the top) and double-click First Page. That applies the First Page style to the first
page, and that flows to the Default style (which has the page numbers) for the next page. That page
will be numbered as 2, which is probably what is wanted.
