Re: [libreoffice-users] no numbering for first pages

       You're not alone -
           I too have not figured out the page numbering system;
          [I gave up when templates were mentioned]

       But there are simple solutions although not necessarily efficient;
          either (1) wait until the paper is finished then insert manually;
               or (2) insert manually as you write - in this method you'll
have to redo the numbering at times  ;-)

       or (3) skip the numbering  ;-)

       If anyone actually knows the solution to this problem, I sure wish
he'd respond on-list for all to see -
          and in simple language, please.

I am sorry, but I am not really following.
"press ctrl+enter two times" = naturally creates two blank pages, which I
do not want to have.

AND .. the biggest problem:
I CAN NOT choose the page style. originally it was "default" for individual
pages.
Now I created, following your advice a new one (called firstP" and get that
style for the ENTIRE book.
Trying to select pages and apply a page style (ANY) does not work.
And even though I get a "page 1" after the manual break, the three pages
before that are still numbered 1-3.

So far everything is either ALL or NONE. No selection possible.
Where am I missing what?
