Thanks for your help Michele but I think PAGE is the wrong field
In the document I am playing around with there are 4 (real) pages. So
when I insert =( PAGE * 2 ) -1 in the footer the number 7 appears in
every footer which would equate to the total number of pages (4)
multiplied by 2 less one.
Do you know what the name of the field is for the current page number?
Thanks
Neil

When I used to use MS word I had a formula I used in the footer with 2
columns to simulate 2 A5 pages on a single A4 page.
So on the left side of the footer on page 1 it would read Page 1 and on
the right side it would read Page 2
On the real page 2 it would read Page 3 on the left and Page 4 on the
right. etc
The formula in the footer was something like (pageno * 2) - 1 on the
left and pageno * 2 on the right
How do I do this in Open Office Writer?

Hello,
You can use exactly the same technique. Insert a two columns table in the
footer then replace "pageno" with "PAGE".
In the left cell type
=( PAGE * 2 ) -1
in the right cell
=PAGE * 2
Cheers,
Michele
