Hi. I'm using LO 5.0.1.2 on Mint.
There's an oddity about page numbering, in which differing page styles
change the start page number and total page count.
So, I start LO and make, say, a fresh 3-page document, no manual page
breaks, rather just letting the text flow across page boundaries. On
each page, I add the page number and page count fields. Comfortingly,
the pages now say 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3. That's good.
However, I go to the first page, bring up the stylist, and double-click
"Left Page". The embedded page counts now say 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. And the
page indicator on LO's lower bar reflects this, saying I have a 4-page
document when it's only 3. (The pages have the correct alternating
Left/Right styles after this)
If I go back to the top, and select either "Default Style" or "Right
Page", the numbering corrects itself.
If instead, I try to use a First Page style, leading to Right, then
Left, I get numbering that looks like 1/4, 3/4 and 3/4. No page 2, and
just plain weird!
I know it's slightly perverse starting with the left page, but I have a
good reason, and surely this shouldn't make the counts wrong. It looks
from here that LO has a hard-wired opinion that page 1 is on the right
of a double-page spread.
The killer is that I can't find an obvious way to fix things up manually
- can anyone help please? I'm hoping I'm just missing something
glaringly obvious.
Thanks.
