Look at the page style for Chapter 1. It should be_Right Page_.
1. A right click on the first page of chapter 1 brings up a menu.
2. Towards the bottom of the menu is Edit Paragraph Style.
3. Is this the right place to make the change?
The Organizer tab shows:
Name, Pre formatted text, which can't be changed.
Next style, Pre formatted text, and the pop down menu has many selections,
none close to "Right Page"
Linked with, Default, and the pop down menu has a similar but different
list of selections, none close to "Right Page"
From what I understand, styles are associated with paragraphs, not pages,
and style changes propagate in some magic way that makes them work if they
are placed correctly in an underlying structure by a myriad of tools who's
use is NOT intuitively obvious.
All I wanted to do was put a title page, and table of contents in front
of a multi file document that prints exactly as it needs to. Why this is
so complex, in what is supposed to be a mature software package used by
millions is hard to under stand. If volunteers at OO want their project
to succeed they need to stop adding features, and make it easy for first
users to do something productive with the software without having to
learn a bunch of
intricate complexities.
This is the structure
text1, when empty, prints correct
file1, prints correct
file2, prints correct
text2, empty
The question: What needs to go in text1 in what order to make it work.
If files can be linked into text1, than all that would be in it is the
commands to make the styles put the Title Page, and Contents page in
front of file1, and start the page numbering with one.
In user friendly software, this should take about ten minutes,
not ten hours.
