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

       Thanks for responding ...
          yet when I click on that URL, all I see are these titles (listed
below) which mean next to nothing to me  ;-)
         maybe if I explain my thinking when I see this list, others too
will be helped -
             [my comments in parentheses]

  1      Introducing Writer  [I began reading this back-when - I gave up &
started using the program; the trial-by-doing-method]
  2     Setting up Writer  [but since it's already installed on the machine
??? ]
  3     Working with Text  [grammar & typing I know]
  4     Formatting Pages  [but I don't want it to re-format the whole
machine]
  5     Printing, Faxing, Exporting, and E-mailing  [ok, I understand this
one; but have no use for LO doing these functions]
  6     Introduction to Styles  [I began reading this back-when - I gave up
& started using the program; the trial-by-doing-method]
  7     Working with Styles  [???]
  8     Working with Graphics ; Working with Images  [ok, I think I
understand this one; but have no use for LO doing these functions]
  9     Working with Tables  [ok, I understand this one; but have no use
for LO doing these functions]
10     Working with Templates  [I've tried but cannot understand this]
11     Using Mail Merge  [ok, I understand this one; but have no use for LO
doing these functions]
12     Tables of Contents, Indexes, and Bibliographies  [ok, I understand
this one; but I know how to do these without the program's help]
13     Master Documents [???]
14     Working with Fields [???]
15     Using Forms in Writer [???]
16     Customizing Writer [???]
  A     Keyboard Shortcuts [but shortcuts don't simplify these machines for
me]

Writer Guide 4.2 Chapter 4 Page 35 has a very obscure, unrelated &
meaningless heading called "Page Numbering".
