I've created a TOC and I also manually set my page numbers after the TOC to be offset by -6. The TOC is still showing the page numbers without the offset. How do I fix this please?
Thanks!

Re: TOC page numbers to reflect manual offset
There is a page numbering tutorial that has a section on setting the page numbers. The relevant part is:
You can find the tutorial here.Restarting a page number
Never use the Offset feature you can see in the page number field dialog! The ToC is based on the real page numbering and it doesn't take into account the offset feature. Moreover, your last page won't have any numbering if the correction is positive.
Go to the first paragraph of the page to be renumbered, right click and select Paragraph to edit its properties (not Edit Paragraph style).
Go to the Text Flow tab, in the Breaks section, adjust the page number.

Thank you so very much! I'll be tweaking the doc with fingers crossed that I get it all fixed.

Don't forget to remove the existing offset!

Be sure always to save as a .odt file and not as a .doc file. See [Tutorial] Differences between Writer and MS Word files for a description of differences and for why you should always work in, and save Writer files as .odt, Calc files as .ods, Impress files as .odp etc.beexxxxx@gmail.com wrote: I'll be tweaking the doc ...

Re: SOLVED: TOC page numbers to reflect manual offset
Thanks John, Yes I do always save as .odt unless I want it in a MS for some reason (primarily to use my MS Word Starter program to check spelling and grammar). Also thanks for the heads up about my username. I'm usually more particular
