So far we have a single page document, in the Default style. Note that you can do this before you start entering content into the document like we are in this example, or later and apply them to the document, it doesn't matter. Pick 'Body' from the Next Style drop down The Front Material page style now appears in the Stylist list. Pick 'Front Material' from the Next Style drop downĬlick the Header Tab, and select the 'Header On' check box. Right click in the Stylist and select New. You'll see a short list of pre-defined Page styles.ĭefine a style called Front Material for the preface, contents and so onĭefine a style called Body for the body of the document. Hover the mouse over the 4th from left icon. I usually find it most convenient to dock this to the right side of the screen. In the blank Document, press F11 so that the Style and Formatting window opens (this is typically called the Stylist). For the purposes of this exercise we can ignore almost all of the other settings.īy 'telling' the different Page Styles what we want from them, and then 'telling' the document which Page Style to apply to which pages, we get the end result we desire. The Page Style defines whether headers and footers are on, the format of the page numbers, and a whole, whole lot more. That 'default' means you are using the default page style. In the status bar it will say /1 and Default. Go to View and select the Text Boundaries option. I am afraid the only way I am going to get helped here is with the -> to -> sequence by sequence system. But yet it seems Default setting after page 4 is exactly what i need to get the continuing down of headers and numbers from page 4. But there is no header space or numbering on page 5 and continuing down.Īny attempt to select "Default" at any time of inserting "Header" goes right back to the first page and stuffs all the pictures on my cover. Then by ->insert -> selecting "Header" -> selecting "First page"->then -> Insert-> select Fields -> select "Numbers" sure enough I get my page numbering starting on page 4 which is where I want it. My attempt to do this has been-> click cursor at the end of page 3->Click "Insert" in top left hand corner->select "Manual break"->check "Page break" ->and under "style" ->select "Default" or "First page"and sure enough I get a gap shown on the next page.

I HAVE learnt how to how to start the numbering from page 2 only, as detailed above, which is still encouraging, but so far no amount of experimenting with page breaks has allowed me to start page numbering from page 4 which is where I want to start. Sorry haven't grasped how to create my own styles in F11 at all, or what styles I would put in there even if I could. If this has answered your question, please go to your first post and add to the start of the title. Sorry, I was using Front Page instead of First Page, my mistake.

Once you have then you can pick them from the Insert manual break drop down menu you mentioned.

Use teh default Front Page style for the front page or define your own. The page style dictyates what happens on each page according to headers, footers, numbering etc.
