Using page styles and page numbering
Figure 24 Turn on page header.
At this point you should see the header on the current page, as in Figure 25.
Figure 25 A page with a page header.
What’s so special about headers? The text on the header appears on all pages with that page
style (try it!). This property of headers (or footers), along with fields, forms the basis of OOo
page numbering.
Tip: You can also add a header through the Insert menu: Insert > Header > [page style].
Likewise for footers: Insert > Footer > [page style].
Simple page numbering
The simplest case is to have the page number at the top of every page, and nothing more. To
do this, put the cursor on the header and select Insert > Fields > Page Number (Figure 26).
Figure 26 Page number inserted in the header.
Presto! Now the correct page number appears on every page.
