My Poetry Book. Another ??? Re: Footers

                                               

Well, I certainly did luck out re: the photo question I had in the post below this one.

Thank you again Lissa for getting the photo ready to use, sans the logo it had.  You’re a star! 🙂

And also to Sue, that was nice of you to work on this as well.

Some very talented bloggers out there. So nice when we can help each other, isn’t it?

 And when you’re techie-challenged like I am (but getting better) I really appreciate the help, always!

My poetry book is taking much too long to complete. I seem to be running into a number of small issues that are keeping me from getting this finished. My question today is about footers. I want to manually type in page numbers, possibly with some text and the page number. This is so that I can allow for chapter pages etc, that don’t need a footer or page number. I’m stumped!

I’m using OpenOffice 3.3 and otherwise, I think it’s a good program for word processing, so far at least. I just started using it about a week ago. Quite user-friendly.

But  I can’t figure out how to define footer-page numbers without them reverting back to the same text of a previous footer/page.

Why there’s no manual override for something as simple as footers, I don’t know. I read quite a few frustrated comments online about this very same issue.

If anyone can explain how to set different footer-text/page numbers, manually in OpenOffice, I’d be very grateful for your help.

Happy Thursday. 🙂

PS: For some reason, WP is not allowing me to change the text in this post to black instead of the default grey (that comes with this template, why I don’t know. Black is always better IMO for a font color) Anyhoo….I tried 3 times to make it all black/uniform but I’m giving up.

 Taking up more time that could be used better elsewhere LOL! 😉
