how do you insert page numbers without having major problems with interference with my text.

Asked by Queen Red

I have been trying to figure out why i can't manage my
page numbers. I go to insert, field, page number. I try
to double click it or even right click so that my page
numbers will not interfere with my text on the page.
All I want is for the page numbers to sit under the text
as they do with every other program. What can I do?

I assume that you are talking about OpenOffice writer. Go to the menu item Help>Help, or you can press F1 and type in the field 'Page Numbers' and it will bring up the help for page numbers in the index.

Try going to the "Insert" menu and adding a "Header" or "Footer" then add your page number in this field so it is added to every page and holds its place on the page. Are you saying that the page number is not appearing in a header/footer by default on your system (OpenOffice does not do this).
