In the age of information technology, when computerization is in full swing, it is difficult to imagine an employee in any field without an office software package (this is a set of utilities designed to perform a wide range of tasks). In this article, we will focus on the increasing popularity of the package - LibreOffice.
How to number pages in the LibreOffice software?
Slowly but surely this list of programs began to gain popularity, why is this happening?
Why LibreOffice?
It is considered that MS Office is completely monopolized by the release of office software. So it was for many years, everyone who works at the computer, heard about MS Word, MS Excel, etc. However, the years went by and a product appeared that may not exceed, but is definitely not inferior to our usual Office.
LibreOffice is a package of six programs:
- text editor Writer;
- Calc table editor;
- Impress presentation and presentation tool
- Draw vector editor;
- formula editor Math;
- Base Database Management System.
Responsive interface will help to understand the functionality, and a wide variety of functions will provide an opportunity to perform the tasks. A pleasant bonus, especially for commercial enterprises and educational institutions, will be an open and, most importantly, free distribution of the package. It is in the public domain, and anyone can download it.
I would like to talk in more detail about the functionality, and more specifically, how to number the pages of the document. The interface in all programs of the package is intuitive, but for a user who is just starting his acquaintance with office software (software), our recommendations can be useful.
The first thing to do is to launch the application itself and create a new document (or open an existing one). To add the page number, place the cursor at the position from which you would like to start numbering. Then go to the menu "Insert" - "Fields" - "Page Number".
Done, the document pages will get their number. I would like to add that in order to put the page number, for example, in the header, you must first double-click on it and then add the number.
And also in Libra Office there is such a thing as “Page Style”. It is intended for more detailed settings for the appearance of the document page. To go there, open the "Properties" menu, then on the right side "Styles and Formatting" and the last - "Page Styles".
You will see all the styles created on your system, as a rule, the default is called “Basic”. Clicking on it with the right mouse button and clicking on "Edit", you will see a window with many tabs and fields, such as "Paper Size", "Fields", "Layout Settings".
There is such a situation in which it is necessary to start numbering pages starting not from the first sheet. This is very easy to do: navigate to the page from which you would like to start numbering. Then go to the “Insert” menu, select “Break” there, and in the opened “Page Break” window, set the “Base” item in the “Styles” drop-down menu.
Done, as you can see, nothing complicated.
On this note, we conclude our article, we hope it was informative and helped you understand the pagination in LibreOffice.
