• place your cursor at the very bottom of your title page and insert a new page for your
table of contents using Ctrl + Return; this new page will automatically also be in
style First Page
• with your cursor placed on this second First Page insert your table of contents
(see section 7)
• place your cursor immediately below your table of contents
• go to menu Insert › Manual Break and choose Default Style
• choose Change page number starting from 1
• confirm OK
So now you have two First Pages followed by Default Pages beginning with number
1. Illustration 17 gives us an example with three unnumbered First Pages.
It’s basically the same method we already came across in section 10 on Group Work in which
we described how to use individual page styles for each author in a work group. Similarly you
could create a completely new page style and call it “Roman” and change the numbering style
from Arabic to Roman to accommodate a forward or an introduction (see section 20).
□ Separate Document for the First Page?
Now that you’ve seen how easy it is to insert simple page breaks using Ctrl
+
Return as
well as to switch page styles and restart numbering using Manual Page Breaks it is quite
obvious you don’t need separate documents for the different parts of your thesis. In fact, sep-
arate documents have a whole number of serious drawbacks:
• you can easily loose track of which documents (title page, main text, literature list etc.)
on your hard disk belong together
• it makes it very difficult to create a single final PDF-document for publication or mail-
ing purposes
