This is a major problem in Calcutta's commercial printing. They go on using Adobe (R) Pagemaker only for this reason in place of say OOo or MSW. In ninety percent or more of the print jobs, two subsequent pages come on the same A4 sheet, so what they do is set the two pages on the same page, in landscape, and then use two page-number fields on the right page and left page, and two sets of headers, if needed. This saves their block making cost, one per page. This cannot be done in OOo or MSW, AFAIK. This is a necessity if OOo needs penetrate in the commercial sector. So, dear Coombes, it will be a lot of help if you suggest how to use user-defined fields to do this.
