Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53118
Incoherent 'page number' and 'number of pages'
Last modified: 2005-08-11 12:34:20 UTC
When you insert a 'manual break' with a different 'page style' you can select to change or not page number. If you do it last page 'page number' and 'number of pages' do not match. Maybe it should be just an option ( adjusting number of pages ) but I think such option should be provided someway.
If e.g have five pages in your doument and do a manualy page break with new page number "1", of course the new page is "1". In the status bar, there will be stated "Page 1 7/7". This is due to the fact, that there is an automatic left/right page follow correction in Writer. See issue 3910. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3910 ***
Closed.
Created attachment 28629 [details] Sample file showing the issue
There is not a blank page at my document,at all. (See attached file). (1) Header:(none) TITLE Manual break (2) Header:(none) INDEX Manual break, changing page number (3) Header:Page 1 of 4 (instead of 2) First page Manual break (3) Header:Page 2 of 4 (instead of 2) Last page Manual break
The "page count" (STATISTICS / PAGES) field always reflects the whole number of pages in a document, not from the start of the "re-counting".
So maybe thereshould be a new field called something like "section page count" or "corrected page count"
Hi juanrey, To see the blank pages, use page preview or print the dokument on paper or export to pdf. I think, that issue 36205 covers your problem. You can vote for it.
Thank you regina, but my document really does not contain any blank page. I jus want to be able to print "Page n of m" at my documents footer ( where n is the corrected page number, the way now it is shown, and the corrected number of pages ). So that the last page shows e.g. "page 2 of 2" instead "page 2 of 4". ( See attached file where there is no blank page )
This way of counting is currently not supported in OO. It is already tracked as "Enhancement" request in issue 33754. Add your comments or votes there, if you want this to be implemented in a future release.
Thank you very much!!
