20 Roman Page Numbering

Roman page number-

ing for the introduct-

ory pages following

the title page but pre-

ceding the actual text

is quite easy.

For this you need to

create a new page

style, which you will

appropriately name

Roman. Just place your

cursor on any default

page and open menu

Format › Styles

and Formatting (F11) In the menu bar choose the fourth button from the left to open the

list of Page Styles. Now click on the small black triangle pointing downwards on the top

right-hand corner and choose option New Style from Selection. This allows you to cre-

ate a new style with all the properties of your existing page style, so you only need to define a

new name and switch Arabic numbering to Roman numbering (see illustration 21). As soon

as you insert Page numbers in the Headers of your newly created Roman style page, these will

appear as expected as “i, ii, iii, …”. The Table of contents will also display Roman numbers

for these pages.

In order to jump from one page style to another, simply place the cursor at the very bottom

of the last page pertaining to one particular style and open the menu Insert › Manual

Break › Page Break. There choose the page style you want from this point on and Change

page number to 1.

This is basically the same method we already came across in section 10 on Group Work when

you wanted unique Headers for each member of the work group.

Note: OpenOffice insists on turning any page with an uneven page number into a right page

just like in any magazine. So if you insert, say, a manual page break at the end of page 3 and

tell the programme to restart page numbering with a 1, it will insert a blank page to “carry”

the page number 4. This behaviour is correct. You cannot delete this blank page, but you can

choose not to print it by unchecking Print automatically inserted blank pages under

the tab OpenOffice.org Writer in the print pop-up menu.

21 Bullets and Numbering

Listings can be really nerve-racking. You write a “1.”, “A.” or “*” at the beginning of a para-

graph, write some text and then press Return, and off you go: an indented list gets launched

and you have no idea how to get out of it. So out of sheer exasperation under the menu

Tools you go to AutoCorrect Options › Options and uncheck the box Apply num-
