Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Writer: Page Number/Page Count problem.

If the "x format" is the default format in the leading&mainstream office 
product, you can't escape from it unfortunately.
It is useful for me because the documents are smaller in size.
I know it's so much pain for the development team but LO should be 
compatible in every possible way.
If someday LO market takes over, LO can set the rules.
