{{DISPLAYTITLE: How do I make page numbers alternate? (eg. even page numbers on the top-left, odd page numbers on the top-right).}} <section begin=question/> '''How do I make page numbers alternate? (eg. even page numbers on the top-left, odd page numbers on the top-right).''' <section end=question/> <section begin=answer/> There are two ways to do this. First method, using one page style only: # From the main menu bar, select {{menu|Format|Page}} (or right-click anywhere on the page and choose Page). # On the Page Style dialog, go to the Page tab. # In the Layout Settings section, set Page layout to 'Mirrored'. # On the Header tab, select the 'Header on' checkbox and deselect the 'Same content left/right' checkbox. Now you can insert page numbers in the headers. On a left-hand (even-numbered) page, align the number to the left. On a right-hand (off-numbered) page, align the number to the right. Second method, using two page styles: # Open the '''Styles and Formatting''' window ({{key|F11}}). # Select the Page Styles icon. # Right-click on the 'Right Page' style to open the Page Style dialog. # On the Organizer tab, set 'Next Style' to 'Left Page' (you'll have to create Left Page first if it does not exist). # On the Page tab, set 'Page layout' to 'Only left'. # On the Header tab, select the 'Header on' checkbox. The 'Same content left/right' checkbox is not available. Click OK to save. # Back in the Styles and Formatting window, right-click on 'Left Page' to open the Page Style dialog. # On the Organizer tab, set 'Next Style' to 'Right Page'. # On the Page tab, set 'Page layout' to 'Only right'. # On the Header tab, select the 'Header on' checkbox. The 'Same content left/right' checkbox is not available. Click {{button|OK}} to save. This sets up the pages to alternate styles automatically. Now you can insert page numbers in the header as usual. <section end=answer/> [[Category:Documentation/FAQ/Writer/FormattingPagesAndDocuments]]
