Bug ID: 148694
Summary: i liked 7.3.1.3 on Mac (intel) until I got to
inserting page numbers in a book in docx format.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If a video or series of screenshots for how to create page numbers in a
footer/header, let me know.
I've been with OOO and LO and donated several times since early 2000s. I
looked at the 700 page 7.3 documentation doc. It looks like you are making LO
to be as complicated as InDesign. Insert Page Number in Footer is a good
example of an intermediate skill, no longer possible to do. Youtube tutorials
on earlier versions are worse than nothing as 7.3 has a completely different
conception-which I cannot track to succeed with.
I suggest LO NOT compete with InDesign, that it hold steady on the target of
replicating MS Office WORD and it's clunky but easy to explain function.
Alternatively, do a new branch of LO with a new name which does approach
InDesign.
Actual Results:
the only result I can get for a page number is the text "Page Number" appearing
in what must be the page numbering field.
Expected Results:
In earlier LO editions, in normal (pages view) the system gives the page number
in the field.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The 7.3 documentation suggests entering a page number is about five levels
deep. I suggest you change this to no more than three levels deep, no deeper
than MS Office has this function, even if its less elegant or incompatible for
InDesign-like production.
