numbering book pages?
Open Office people:
I am trying to design a 100-page book using Open Office 4.1.6
For three days I have wrestled with various issues and seem to have most of
them worked out. However, I cannot get the page numbering sequence to work
as I would like. I have front matter that I would like numbered with Roman
numerals and a few pages later the rest of the book numbered with Arabic
numerals. If needed, I can skip the first set of Roman numerals (though I
would prefer to have them), but every time I apply the footer numbers to
the later section of the text, the number starts with 13--which in fact it
is the 13th page, but I want the numbering to start there with 1. What can
I do to correct this problem?
Thanks.
