[libreoffice-users] Writer page numbering issue + numbered list issue

Hi!

Today I've had 2 frustrations with LO Writer (6.0.4 & 6.2a).  To keep 
this shorter and easier to follow, I'm posting two topics

This email has one of those frustrations.

I have a legal document that was originally a MS Word doc.  I don't want 
to rebuild the complete document to fix page numbering and 
outline/paragraph numbering style.  I would appreciate any pointers on 
how to fix the following 2 issues.

I started using LO earlier this year and have found page numbers a 
challenge.

I have a legal document that was usually added into or appended to a 
proposal document that was printed to a pdf.

So I have changed the page number in the legal document to start with 
the page following the last page of the proposal. ie. proposal has five 
pages so the legal document would start on page 6.

I've been to a dozen websites and seen a few youtube videos but still 
can't get the page number to change from "4".  I'd like it to be "1" for 
the present document.

What I've tried.  a) Delete the footer; b) delete the footer, then reset 
the default footer; c) in the page style change the type flow option to 
set the page number.  Nothing works.

How do I manually change the starting page number for the legal 
document?  What's the secret to get this to work?
