I have a 16 page document that needs page numbers added. The page numbering needs to begin on page 8 and continue to page 23 (that should be 16 pages)
I read the tutorial here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Docume ... _numbering
I was able to:
- Create a header
Insert the page number field
Using the Text Flow Format dialog box, I inserted a page break (why is this mandatory?)
Set the page numbering to page 8
Then hit OK.
So I changed the page numbering to start at page 7 instead of page 8. It didn't make any difference. There still is a blank page before the document begins.Do not set a starting page number that is an even number because you will end up with a blank page before the first page when you print the file or export it as a PDF.
Is there a simple solution to this?
Thanks for your reply.
