I'm using OpenOffice 2.4. If I open a new document I see that the document is 1 page long (obviously). I then click on Insert->Manual Break. Visually the page is now 2 pages long. However, the page count field shows the document as 3 pages long, and if I move the cursor into the second page, the current page is listed as page 3/3.

Only happens when you change the page number. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new Writer Text Document 2. Click Insert->Manual Break 3. In the window that opens select Page Break 4. Change Style to Default 5. Check "Change Page Number" 6. Press the OK button or hit Enter
o In the Insert Break dialogue, there is no need to set a style unless you want the page break to cause a change in page style of the new page from the style of the current page.
o The "Change page number" option changes the number of the new page from what it would otherwise naturally have been. It seems that you are interfering with the normal numbering of your pages and then asking why they are not numbered normally!
If you have given your second page an odd number, it will need to be printed as a right-hand page - a "recto" - rather than the left-hand page - "verso" - that it would naturally be. OpenOffice Writer is helpfully inserting a blank page, which will be necessary if you print the document double-sided. You can confirm this using Page Preview, when you should see your two pages separated by another, with the legend "blank page". (Whether this automatically inserted blank page actually prints depends on a printer option.)
