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

I can use any format, it's not a problem for me, but you or I cannot 
tell using other formats to any computer illiterate who only know ms 
office which they learn in school.
And I think, if there is an option in any software, it should work.
If it cannot work in the supposed way, that option should be fixed or 
dropped.
And in this case, I think this is a trivial feature and it should be fixed.
