Libre office is an excellent alternative to the famous and promoted Microsoft Office Word. Users like the LibreOffice functionality and especially what this program is free. In addition, there is an overwhelming majority of functions present in the product from the world IT giant, including numbering pages.
Numbering options in LibreOffice are several minutes. So the page number can be inserted into the upper or footer or simply as part of the text. Consider each option in more detail.
Insert page number
So, to simply insert the page number as part of the text, and not a footer, you need to do the following:
- In the taskbar, to choose the "Insert" item.
- Find a clause called "Field", bring to it.
- In the drop-down list, select "Page Number".
After that, the page number will be inserted into the text document.
The disadvantage of this method is that the page number will not be displayed on the next page. Therefore, it is better to use the second way.
As for the insertion of the page number to the upper or footer, everything happens here like this:
- First you need to select the "Insert" menu item.
- Then go to the "footer" point, select whether we need upper or lower.
- After that, it will be easy to bring to the desired footer and click on the inscription "Basic".
- Now, when the footer has become active (the cursor is on it), you should do the same as described above, that is, go to the "Insert" menu, then select "Field" and "Page Number".
After that, on each new page in the lower or top footer, its number will be displayed.
Sometimes it is required to make the numbering of pages in the Libre office not for all sheets or start the numbering re-on. In LibreOffice you can do it.
Editing Numbering
In order to remove the numbering on certain pages, you need to apply the style "first page". This style is distinguished by the fact that it does not allow pages to be numbered, even if they are active footer and the page "Page number". To change the style, you need to perform the following simple steps:
- Open on the top panel item "Format" and select "Title Page".
- In the window that opens near the inscription "Page" you need to specify, for what pages the "First Page" style will be applied and click the "OK" button.
- To indicate that it will not be numbered this and next page for it, you need to write a number 2. If this style needs to be applied to three pages, indicate "3" and so on.
Unfortunately, there is no possibility immediately through the comma, indicate which pages should not be numbered. Therefore, if we are talking about pages that do not follow each other, you will need to enter this menu several times.
To number the pages in LibreOffice again, you need to do the following:
- Put the cursor on the page with which the numbering should start again.
- Go to the top menu to "Insert".
- Click on the "gap".
- In the window that opens, put a tick in front of the "Change page number" item.
- Press the "OK" button.
If necessary, here you can choose and not number 1, but by any way.
