Following this bug because I face the same Issue. I need documents with no page
number in the beginning, then page numbered, then again page not numbered.
I also want this document to be printed in duplex, with a larger margin on the
inner side.

Doubt this works cross-application, at least not out of the box. Regina, any
thoughts?

And we have to label the options so average users understand it.

I suggest to handle this topic at bug 117231 => make this a DUP.

Bug 153534 challenges the idea of left/right page styles in favor of an
alternative approach.

There are two aspects here.
1. Page counting, for using in the document (showing the number / using in
calculations and/or conditions).
2. Printing.

Possibly this could be solved by setting the property of the *page break*, like
"start on left/right/default/next page", with "default" meaning "decide based
on even/odd of the number", and "next" meaning "do not insert any blanks no
matter what". Having such a control would allow any level of flexibility,
including exchanging mapping even/odd to left/right, throughout the whole
document or in its part, and having no blanks at all if needed. But also a
setting in page style is needed, which would map even/odd to right-left (and
so, define the "default" behavior).

This shows that the topic is most difficult. It needs a thorough consideration
about the rationale and use cases.

I think the best example is a letter with the envelop at the beginning. But
even here, it does not really matter if there is a blank page or not because
printing requires manual operation: one print command for the envelop, usually
on the manual tray, and one print command for the rest of the document. And
even if everything is printed in a single step (envelop data will be clipped
from its sheet and glued on a "standard" envelop), the automatic blank page
will synchronise the "letter" with duplex printing. And with single-side
printing, it is easy to remove a blank sheet.

So, presently without any reflexion, it looks like it is a matter of design by
author if pages are continuously numbered or not. I don't see a general
pattern.

Anyway, if somebody uses Left Page page style, then the page is definitely on
the left side. Same for Right Page. The question arises for "non-lateralised"
page styles but subject to the general document properties (and presently you
can't inform Writer about single/duplex).

Given the fact that we repeatedly discuss this topic seems to justify
alternative solutions. Some of the problems around automatically inserted pages
could be solved with a special page style that omits these pages from counting,
as planned in bug 153259. But if you tell Writer that the next page has to be
the "First Page" somewhere in the middle of the document the inserted blank
page makes sense, I don't see "spurious page breaks"

Thinking also about a checkbox that make the document start right by inserting
blank pages, or not if off; could be "[x] Right pages use odd numbers".
Probably not ODF-conform / compatible across applications.

The argumentation in bug 137035 doesn't seem conclusive for me.

I agree that Left Page and Right Page should have special numbering properties
according to their names which clearly hint at double-sided printing where page
number parity is important.

But there are cases where an author just numbers single-sided pages so that
they can be resorted, should the leaves fall on the floor. There is also the
case of document intended to be read exclusively on electronic devices. Blank
pages don't really make sense.

The main argument to waive the bug is the consideration for eventual printing
of those documents, in which case we have "against-conventions" results. I
think that if author clearly states that the document is either single-sided (a
pure sequence of pages) or meant for electronic publishing, user has to accept
the violating numbering.

The main difficulty is to inform Writer that the document is single- or
double-sided. We can infer double-sided from the use of Left Page and Right
Page, attribute "Only L/R" in page styles or non-ticked "Same content on left
and right pages" in Header/Footer definition. However this is not sufficient. A
document may be double-sided without these criteria.

Does it still make sense nowadays to design and write single-sided (with all
the implications understood as well by author as readers)? If answer is "No" =>
WF but warn users in the documentation.

If answer is yes, how difficult is the fix? If it means a huge effort or
breaking things, it is not worth it. There are many serious bugs still awaiting
fixes. The present report can be considered a feature request and reassigned as
enhancement with lower priority.

Do as you think most appropriate. This is not blocking for me.

Andre, in due consideration of the reasoning in bug 137035 comment 5, do you
agree with WF?

As UX team already set the referenced bug 137035 to wontfix once, let's ask
them for a fresh look.
