4) Select Insert > Fields > Title. The title should appear on a gray

background (which does not show when printed and can be

turned off).

5) To change the title for the whole document, go back to File >

Properties > Description.

Fields are covered in detail in Chapter 14 (Working with Fields) in the

Writer Guide

For more about headers and footers, see Chapter 4 (Formatting Pages)

and Chapter 6 (Introduction to Styles) in the

Writer Guide

Numbering pages

To automatically number pages:

1) Insert a header or footer, as described in “Creating headers and

footers” on page 105.

2) Place the cursor in the header or footer where you want the page

number to appear and click Insert > Fields > Page Number.

Including the total number of pages

To include the total number of pages (as in “page 1 of 12”):

1) Type the word “page” and a space, then insert the page number

as above.

2) Press the spacebar once, type the word “of” and a space, then

click Insert > Fields > Page Count.

Note

The Page Count field inserts the total number of pages in the

document, as shown on the Statistics tab of the document’s

Properties window (File > Properties). If you restart page

numbering anywhere in the document, then the total page

count may not be what you want. See Chapter 4 (Formatting

Pages) in the

Writer Guide

for more information.

Restarting page numbering

Often you will want to restart the page numbering at 1, for example on

the page following a title page or a table of contents. In addition, many

documents have the “front matter” (such as the table of contents)

numbered with Roman numerals and the main body of the document

numbered in Arabic numerals, starting with 1.

You can restart page numbering in two ways.
