This is a long-standing issue that took me awhile to puzzle out. I have to produce papers for my classes that specify a Title page and then the next page is numbered starting with "1". The book-centric paradigm of left/right, even/odd pages is so deeply ingrained into the program that it applies even when using nothing but the Default page style.
I do not see this when I open the default page style, I see right and left as the page layout.
Exactly. That's the problem. Even though the Default style specifies identical formatting for left and right pages, internally the program assigns a value of left or right to every page, whether you want it to or not.
Contributing to all this, the Manual Page Break dictates that the next page after a break *will* *be* a right hand page.
If you were to modify the Default to be "Left Only" or "Right Only" then you would end up with a blank page separating every page of text. The effect of "Mirrored", I believe is simply to reverse the left/right margin settings every other page, while keeping everything else the same.
okay. I see what you mean. However I wouldn't set my page numbering in this manner.
If you're producing documents that are meant to be printed out and bound like a book, then the behavior of OOo is exactly correct. But if you're producing documents that are meant to be printed out on only one side of the paper, then it is really cumbersome to correct this behavior.
I hadn't noticed. What you describe above is what I have been using without thinking too much about it as it is what I used for SO5.2.
Good to know. I will preserve this and stuff it into the user guide at some point.
Feel free. Hope I've contributed a little bit.
