Just tested https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44689 and set that to "fixed" since it seems to work.
To offset a page number in LO you need at least as many pages in the document as which you want to offset. worksforme: * create writer document with 3 pages * insert > Field (loose translation here!) > Page number * double click page number * enter correction (loose translation!) value of "1" Page number should display 2 while inserted on first page If you think this is bad behavior, please create a new bug with exact suggestions about what you would like to see improved and in what why that could be done. Offset in general does work, so closing this very old bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118935 Title: [Upstream] [hardy] Writer page numbering offset not working Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Invalid Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in Writer is when one clicks Insert -> Field -> Page Numbers -> double click page number -> change offset from 0 to 6 -> OK button -OR- Insert -> Field -> Other -> Page -> Page Numbers -> Offset 6 -> Insert button it shows the first Page Number object with 6 inside. 4) What happens instead is it shows a blank object.
