On the Page page of the Page Style dialog box, in the
Layout settings
section (Figure 134), select i, ii, iii, ... from the
Format
drop-down list.
Figure 134: Changing format of page numbers
Numbering the first page something other than 1
Sometimes you may want to start a document with a page number
greater than 1. For example, you may be writing a book, with each
chapter in a separate file. Chapter 1 may start with page 1, but
Chapter 2 could begin with page 25 and Chapter 3 with page 51.
Follow these instructions to start the page numbering in a document at
a number greater than 1. (These instructions are for a page number in
a footer, but you could use a header instead.)
Tip
Do not set a starting page number that is an even number
because you will end up with a blank page before the first
page when you print the file or export it as a PDF.
1) Choose Insert > Footer > [page style] to activate the footer. (If
the page style is already selected in the Footer menu, point to it
and click OK in the OpenOffice.org 2.0 dialog box that appears.
Then point to that page style again to select it.)
2) The cursor is now in the footer. To insert the page number, choose
Insert > Fields > Page Number. The page number will be 1.
3) Click in the first paragraph in the text area or type a paragraph of
text.
4) Choose Format > Paragraph (or right-click and choose
Paragraph from the pop-up menu) to display the Paragraph
dialog box.
5) On the
Text Flow
page, in the
Breaks
section, select Insert and
select Page in the
Type
drop-down list. Select With Page Style
and the page style you are using for the first page of the
document.
