There should be three ways of inserting page numbering in a header:
- As outlined in the guidebook, insert simple page number on a new page style, with the first paragraph having a page break beforehand, with settings adjusted to start page number on user defined value. (This has two critical limitations for me. First, I can’t get it to work where I need it, namely, endnotes. Second, I have additional content in the header, which is why I’ve been using the Fields method instead for page numbering)
- Insert page numbering through the fields functionality. (However, I can’t seem to find how to set it to a page number other than the actual page number according to the odt doc, which isn’t what I want. Alternatively, I’ve been trying to set a custom range to match the page numbers I want, so, say, 200-220. I presume it’s possible to this via the Fields>More Fields settings… but I’ve been playing around with it and can’t find the way.
- Insert page numbers individually on a page-by-page basis, by having different header content for each page. (But for some reason I can’t seem to apply different header content to more than 3 pages in a given style.
Preferably I’d like to resolve this issue through setting the custom range of the field (2). It just seems easiest that way.
If that doesn’t work, I’d be willing to insert page numbers on a page-by-page basis (3). There aren’t that many pages which I must do this for.
I’d really like to avoid the simple page number insert method as I’ve already formatted my headers without it.
