I've figured that the pootle link was related to DB Wizard. Sorry for that. 

However, i think that's not only me to understand this field function as page
page of count. As i said it was documented. See page 137 of the Writer guide
attached. 

You may consider, it as to say: firstly add a page, than type of than add the
count field. But i think it is not the way that it should be. 

But it should be simpler than now. The end user should guess to combine
page+count fields. Doing it simple, but figuring how to add a simple Page /
Count is sometimes not that easy. For example i understand from the guides page
that, this fields working as it is shown on the figure. But actually it is not.

> User may want page count without page number and page number without 
> page count. They are two different fields.

Yes may be, but it may be not. 


On the other hand, i don't think that the count is widely used separate than
the page number. Commonly, it makes no sense to have just the count in all
pages of a document. For example, the Writer Guide is about 463 pages. Who
wants to see 463 in each pages? It is ok if you will use it, as "This document
consists #count# pages". But i can say that i'am working in a bank, we create
aggrements, letters etc. we should use page of count, and i never needed to use
count separately. 

Micrsoft Word have various options for page numbering; page number + page
number combined with count. 

Wish to have some options for Page Number field.

I think it must be easier to add the a/m format with one click.

Sorry for the confusion, and misunderstanding.(It can be misunderstand when
localized too) But you may consider this bug report as a request for adding a
new Page Numbering Sytle as:

Insert->Fields->Page Number/Count or something suitable.

Zeki
