Reassigned to "requirements". This issue is mentioned in #3910 as well - I think it is worth a separate issue, since it can be implemented independantly and is acutally NOT related to the "unwanted blank page" issue that is the main thread in 3910. added myself on cc list This feature is essential for juridical documents, because the pages must be numbered consecutively in such documents. I can see why this is necessary. I have also been asked whether it is possible to assign a template to these "automatically inserted blank pages". This to say "page intentionally left blank" or similar. An option to choose between these alternatives, or the current behaviour for each document would be welcome. It is very important to have some control over the automatically inserted blank page. When defining a paragraph style, you can select to insert a page break and can even specify the page style. We need the same for the blank page, specify the page style. Or we could specify the name of a file containing the page we want inserted. *** Issue 78966 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** If the issue status is something developers look at when deciding whether to follow-up or not, then somebody with proper privledges should change the status of this issue to "confirmed" - the behaviour is reproducable even with the latest OO.org releases and is a significant problem in professional environments. Maybe the "unconfirmed" status is the reason why this issue is idling for years now? confirmed by votes Hi, I write technical training books, and I use master documents a lot. I want to send my PDF directly to a two side printer, but i cant do this directly, first I have to check my end of chapters to see if there is a blank page, if so, i have to manipulate my master document in such a way that i insert blank lines to force an "empty" page with proper headings and footers. This problem makes me do many manual inserting/deleting of empty paragraphs before sending to print. I think it would be very useful to have control over the page style of the autoinserted blank page. thanks for any help. *** Issue 101257 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 78297 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** When is this going to be fixed? It's been 5 years already !!! 5 years and so far no leads! strange... adding myself to the cc list Almost six years since initial request :-( 13.5 years and counting... It seems a little ridiculous that an issue is open that long and nothing happens. Looks more and more like another way to say WONT_FIX, sadly... :-( Can you please test with latest Version? It is old nobody knows what has happens. It is 13 years as you point out. This would help us to reinvestigate the issue. After all it is a new management. Also nice would be if you can check if there are duplicates. This would help us out. Since there so many bugs. You never find the important one. Thank you for remind us on this one. Created attachment 86519 [details] Issue47111.odt Created attachment 86520 [details] Issue47111.pdf The issue is still there in v4.1.5 I have added two attachment showing the problem, where page 4 (auto added) is a completely blank page. It isn't using the "Left page"-format as i should in the case. (...or even better, would be that it used a "Blank Left Page"-format, so that one can design how blank pages should look like, for example with the text "This page is intentionally left blank." in big letters diagonally over the page , or something like that.) ....also notice (in attachment Issue47111.odt and Issue47111.pdf) that the header on the last page (the page after the blank page) is strangely placed higher then the other headers, i.e. ignoring the above paragraph spacing !!! Easily shown by increasing the above paragraph spacing to 1 inch, on the "Indent & Spacing"-tab of the Paragraph style for "Heading 1". I understand. Thanks for testing and all the observations. Is there any progress on this issue? |
