There is stuff about it in the help, but it is a bit hard to find if you don't quite know what you are looking for. And it is complicated by having two different techniques to do all you want, ie - Using Styles to differentiate the cover page from other pages. - Changing the attributes of the first paragraph after a page break to restart numbering. If you want to find the help for this last item, first search for 'Page numbers' then choose 'inserting/defining/formatting'. On that help page is 'To Start With a Defined Page Number'. Tony

Yes it was difficult and as I said right up front, I did read through the help but still struggled with it. Perhaps the help could do with some refining as I'm sure that I will not be the last person having this basic requirement. Regards Adam

More detailed information is provided by the "Getting Started" and "User" guides, available for download and on-line viewing from the "Documentation Project": http://documentation.openoffice.org/ I would also like to take this opportunity to mention that the "Authors Project", who produce the guides, are one of the most active and hard working areas of the OOo project and congratulate Jean Hollis Weber (Authors Project Lead and Documentation Project Co-Lead) on her tireless efforts to improve and expand the OOo documentation.
