Using page styles and page numbering

Note: The margins are set this way to make binding easier after the book is printed double sided.

This can be accomplished using what you already know of page styles, plus a clever use of

the Next Style property. OOo provides two page styles called Right Page and Left Page.

First, set the page style Right Page to be followed by Left Page and vice versa.

1) On the Stylist, go to the configuration window for the Right Page style (Figure 28).

Figure 28 Right-click on Right Page and choose Modify.

2) Click on the Organizer tab, and set Next Style to Left Page (Figure 29). This means

that, after a Right Page, the page style will switch to Left Page.

Figure 29 Set Next Style to Left Page.

3) In a similar way, set Left Page to be followed by Right Page.

Set the first page of the document to Right Page. You will see that the page styles Right

Page and Left Page alternate. You can see the page style change in the status bar (Figure 21)

when you go to the next page. Now we can setup the properties of the Right Page and Left

Page styles.

Set up the page properties for Right Page.

• Put the page number on the top-right of the page, and your name on the header.

• The page margin settings are located under the Page tab. Set the left margin to 4cm

and leave the others unchanged. See Figure 30.
