From: Adam on 22 Jul 2010 05:35 An OO novice, I'm trying to page number a text document but don't want to have the cover sheet numbered. I just can't work this out even after read the online help :( Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Adam Australia

If it is the latter you need put a page break as the very first thing on the page after the cover page. You probably have this already. The with the cursor on that position, do Format > Paragraph and select the "Text Flow" tab. On that tab, under "Breaks", make sure "Insert" and "With Page Style" are checked and then set "Page Number" to 1. This is the way to explicitly set a starting page number at a particular page. Hope this helps Tony

To insert page numbers in a document. Step 1 > Insert >footer >Default Step 2 in the footer type Page and a space step 3 >Insert >Fields >Page Number I think that is more or less what you want. I then centre the footer so the literal page and the page number appear in the middle of the page.
