Changing Page Numbers In A Converted# Page Style

Hi All!

Hopefully a simple question.

I have a book that I’m writing in LibreOffice. I’m using 25.2.7.2 on a Windows 10/11 system.

I am using a format for all of the spacing to be consistent from a prior book I wrote. For the new book, I stripped out everything after the first two pages of the first chapter and am starting there for formatting. Everything before the second page of the first chapter is exactly where and how I want it. I mention this because whatever solution anyone has to my specific problem, I need to NOT affect any prior pages.

So, here’s the question:

Is there a way to change the page numbers that appear at the top of my page when the Page Style is “Converted3?” The first page of this book that has a page number on it is in the first chapter, which is Converted3 Page Style. The first page to have a page number is physical page 10. The number at the top of this page is, inexplicably, 11, but I need it to be 4.

So, simple question: Can I change the page number appearing in a Converted Page Style?

Thank you to anyone who can answer this.

The Page styles Converted# has been created when the LO convert a DOCX document to the native format what is editable by LibreOffice. All of the editor softwares will work in own native file formats. The DOCX format can not handle any Page Styles. The MS Word uses individual properties batch for each of the pages. And the LO can work only with Named Page Styles.
Do not store your important documents in a foreign file format. There is not (and never will be) 100% compatibility between the file formats. You will lose some formatting properties at every conversion. Every opening procedure and every closeing procedure means a CONVERSION when you use foreign file formats.
