Bug ID: 163312
Summary: Inconsistent documentation for "set page variable" and
"show page variable"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
According to online help the function of "set page variable" and "show page
variable" is:
Set page variable
Inserts a reference point in the document, after which the page count restarts.
Select "on" to enable the reference point, and "off" to disable it. You can
also enter an offset to start the page count at a different number.
Show page variable
Displays the number of pages from the "Set page variable" reference point to
this field.
The real function is:
Set page variable:
Changes page number from the current page.
Show page variable: this field seems to be always blank.
I am reporting this from my cellphone, after getting feedback from
ask.libreoffice.org. When I get to my home I will update with details of
libreoffice version.
It seems a persistent old bug because methods to count oages in a chapter I
find in ask.libreoficce dont mention "show page variable", but they do mention
"set page variable" to change current page number.
