------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 18 06:27:54 +0000 2008 ------- I am filing an intentional duplicate bug of bug 52351 since it was closed invalid because the proper way to do it is very unintuitive and is unlikely to easily be found by the end user. However the improper and non-working way to do it is the easiest way to change it. 1. Insert->Footer 2. Insert->Fields->Page Number 3. Double click on the Page Number in the Footer 4. Change the Offset for the number 5. See that the page numbering stops when the page number exceeds the physical number of pages in the document Wonder why previous bug was closed invalid since this is the most intuitive way to set the page number and is considered to be wrong... At the very least the offset should not be allowed to be set if it causes a perceived bug. The "Proper" way to do it is much more complicated and probably would only be found by a user if they read a book on OpenOffice. (Or found the closed bug, which was the only way I determined how to do it properly) Format->Paragraph (!?) to set a page number, wouldn't that at least be slightly more intuitive if it was in Format->Page instead? Feel free to re-close this bug if you really want, but it really is a big usability problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
