------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 19 08:59:29 +0000 2008 ------- The test document only shows a page count of 1 after loading the document, which seems to be a bug (change page number of first paragraph to 1 and afterwards back to 2 and you've got the empty page). This can be reproduced with versions dating back to at least OOo 2.0. Some time ago, we addressed the problem that empty pages get printed and exported to pdf. We did this by adding an options that simply forces the omission of these pages during printing/pdf export. We did not want to touch the odd=right rule because there seem to be quite some dependencies in the code. By addressing this issue, we somewhat reduced the severity of the issue. Obviously there's an other problem associated with the odd=right rule which is the page counting issue as hagar_de_lest points out. This issue is visible even if you do not switch to page preview or set the view layout to 'book mode'. By the way: 'book mode' only refers to the visual representation of the internal pages, if does not change the way the Writer core creates or handles pages. So from my point of view there has to be a true 'book mode' and a 'non book mode' and only in the book mode, the odd=right rule is active. There are two ways to handle this: 1. In non-book-mode, the internal odd=right rule should not be applied or 2. In non-book-mode, the total number of pages has to be counted excluding empty pages. 2. bases on the assumption, that the total page count is the last remaining issue caused by the odd=right rule and seems to be less risky. The 'omit empty pages on printing' option then can be removed since we would just have to follow the 'book mode' setting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
