--- Comment #5 from ajlittoz <page74010...@yahoo.fr> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > Besides introducing a standard approach to not count pages with a certain > style, I wonder if we should also consider bug 71583 "There is no page count > field for different page styles or sections", which requests "page 1 of 10" > for one part of the document and another "page 1 of 10" for a different part. I read the request in bug 71583 but the suggestion of creating a field page-count-for-style does not solve the question for counting pages in chapters or parts, at least for me. My chapters are all laid out with the same page style with "dynamic" header and footer, thanks to fields. A style-page-count field would give me the total number of pages consumed by all chapters. In addition what constitutes a "part" has as many definitions as there are users. The only common criterion is: a part starts with a page break and ends with a page break. Consequently we could have a new setting in the manual page break dialog to restart page count. Related to this, a new field needs to be defined to return the value of the current part page count. We have then three fields: -1- the present Page Count field returning the effective total number of pages (related to document statistics, according to ODF) -2- a field omitting the pages excluding from the count -3- a field for the current "part" defined by the aforementioned setting in the page break dialog -2- covers the request for "This books contains x pages", not counting covers et al. -3- covers the request for chapters However, it is not possible to have "My document is 132 pages long including 14 appendix pages." because there is presently no way to capture a field value into a variable. This could be another enhancement request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
