--- Comment #77 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #76) Page number mechanism in Writer is connected to e.g. ToC, and its numbers. Any "A user who chooses to [Insert | Page Number] does not want to insert the number of another page", which implies use of offset to modify (even for display) the number of *current* page, tries to introduce inconsistency. And of course, this leads to greater confusion. I strongly believe, that there must *not* be any mechanics that allow *that* outside of the normal page break mechanism. OTOH, any improvements in the page breaks properties in that regards are welcome. The current page field may be changed e.g. like this: remove the offset from the field completely; and introduce another field kind, "page reference", which would have the offset. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
