Text flow options for paragraph styles
The page of the dialog box controlling the text flow options is shown in Figure 233.
This page is divided into three parts: Hyphenation, Breaks, and Options.
In the Hyphenation section, you can change three parameters:
Characters at line end: controls the minimum number of characters to be left
on a line before inserting a hyphen.
Characters at line begin: controls the minimum number of characters that can
be placed at the beginning of a new line following a hyphen.
Maximum number of consecutive hyphens: controls the number of consecutive
lines that terminate with a hyphen.
If you prefer Writer to automatically control the hyphenation, select the
Automatically option.

In the Breaks section, you can require a paragraph to start on a new page or column,
as well as specify the position of the break, the style of the new page, and the new
page number. A typical use for this option is to ensure that the first page of a new
chapter always starts on a new (usually right-hand) page.
To always start a style on a new page, choose the following settings on the Text Flow
page of the Paragraph Style dialog box:
1) In the Breaks section, select Insert. Make sure that Type is set to Page and
Position is set to Before.
2) Select With Page Style and choose the page style from the list.
3) To continue page numbering from the previous chapter, leave Page number set
at 0. To restart each chapter’s page numbering at 1, set Page number to 1.
Click OK.
