Operation Manual

3) On the Text Flow tab of the Paragraph dialog (Figure 78 on page 100), select Breaks.
4) Select Insert and then With Page Style and specify the page style to use.
5) Specify the page number to start from, and then click OK.
Tip
Method 1 is also useful for numbering the first page of a document with a page number
greater than 1. For example, you may be writing a book, with each chapter in a
separate file. Chapter 1 may start with page 1, but Chapter 2 could begin with page 25
and Chapter 3 with page 51.
Method 2:
1) Insert > Manual break.
2) By default, Page break is selected on the Insert Break dialog (Figure 82).
3) Choose the required page Style.
4) Select Change page number.
5) Specify the page number to start from, and then click OK.

Changing page margins
You can change page margins in three ways:
• Using the page rulers—quick and easy, but does not have fine control
• Using the Page Style dialog—can specify margins to two decimal places
• Using the Page panel on the Properties deck of the Sidebar
Caution
If you change the margins, the new margins affect the page style and will be shown in
the Page Style dialog the next time you open it.
Because the page style is affected, the changed margins apply to all pages using that
style.
