Headers and chapterpages... again

[Andre]

Hi,
I studied the info about how to make a chapterpage (and titlepage) without a header with the pagenummer showing, but I don´t get it. Can someone please explain to me how to do it?

Let’s suppose that you have a document with no page numbering.

First, let’s suppose that you want to skip the title page and start page numbering on the next page. Here is how to proceed:

1) If you haven’t already done so, place a next page section break right at the end of the last paragraph of your title page.
2) Place your mouse caret (blinking insertion cursor) anywhere inside the page following the title page.
3) Click “Insert | Page numbers…”
4) In the “Insert Page Numbers” dialog

• a) choose a position for the page numbers (header or footer).
  b) leave the “Show number on first page” box unchecked.
  c) choose an alignment type for the page numbers.
  d) click “OK”.

Now, let’s suppose that you also want to skip the first page of a new chapter and start page numbering on the second page of that new chapter. Here is how to proceed:

1) If you haven’t already done so, place a next page section break right at the end of the last paragraph of the last page of the previous chapter.
2) Place your mouse caret anywhere inside the first page of the new chapter.
3) Double-click the vertical ruler to bring the “Page Settings” dialog up. Click the “Layout” tab.
4) Check the “Different first page” box inside the “Layout” tab.
5) Click “OK”.

Hope this helped.
Cheers

Thanks, Robert. I will give it a try.

Robert, the sectionbreak Next Page is working fine, now every Chapterpage is without a pagenumber in the header, but also, after every sectionbreak, the pagenumbering starts from 1.
How can I keep the numbering going?

Pages are normally numbered in sequence from beginning to end of document unless you make some move to change this.
It is difficult to give you directions from a distance and without a proper document to talk about. But you might try this:

1) Click "View | Header and Footer".
2) Find the first header where page numbering appears to be wrong (e.g. 1 instead of 4).
3) Find the "Page Numbering Format" button on the special Header and Footer toolbar. Click on it.
4) In the "Page Numbering Format", activate the "Continue from previous section" radio button.
5) Renew steps 2) to 4) as often as is necessary in your document.

Also note that all your headers should bear a "Same as Previous" caption unless you want to break continuity at some point.
Use the special Header and Footer toolbar and its "Same as Previous" button to break or to restore continuity between headers or footers.

Hope this helps.
