Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 59580
Page numbering in writer
Last modified: 2006-02-02 23:29:01 UTC
I think it is time to add decent page numbering fauture in OO. Existing concept of inserting the footer and within adding the page numbers is extremely unpractical and complicated. Also with this concept, you cannot choose weather you like page number to show on the first page or not, which is quite anoying bug. The lack of this feauture is the first thing that all new users noted. It can be solved very simple like in MS Word.
Reassigned to requirements. This is quite similar to issue 7065.
Is this issue is planed to be solved in 2.0.2 or not?
no, not planned. And honestly: What do you expect? OOo has a concept of page styles and paragraph styles. You can choose on what pages your number will appear by choosing the appropriate page-style. I guess you want a "wizard" type thing and thus mark it as duplicate. OOo is not a word-clone.. And there aren't enough programmers to fix every single issue out there.... *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 7065 ***
closing duplicate.
