Instructions
Step 1
Open the program by double-clicking the program shortcut on the desktop, or click the "Start" menu, in the "All Programs" section, select the OpenOffice item.
Step 2
To open any text document, click the top menu "File", select "Open". In the window that opens, specify the path to the file and press the Enter key.
Step 3
Depending on which part of the document you need to display numbering (top or bottom), you should select the appropriate value for the header (header or footer). Click the "Insert" menu and select the type of header or footer that suits your document.
Step 4
Left-click on the header and footer field, click the "Insert" menu, select "Fields", select "Page Number" from the list.
Step 5
In the "Editing Fields" window that opens, you can set the type of displayed headers and footers (page numbering). If you want to change the page format, for example, change Arabic numerals to Roman ones, double-click the left mouse button on the "Page numbers" line and select the appropriate value. Click OK to close this window.
Step 6
To change the pagination style (set a different font, highlight color, etc.), select the header value on the first page and use the formatting bar.
Step 7
Some documents begin with a title page, the numbering of which is strictly prohibited. To cancel displaying the header and footer on the first sheet, place the cursor on the first header, click the Formatting menu and select Styles.
Step 8
In the window that opens, click the "Page Styles" button (image of a double page) and double-click on the "First page" line.
Step 9
Check if the numbering on the title page has disappeared: if not, then the cursor was not positioned in the header and footer field of the first page. Try to repeat the operation again by clicking on the header and footer of the title page. Now all that remains is to save the document by clicking the "File" menu and selecting the "Save" item.
