Hey,
during the reporting for this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57922
I did some testing of the field command "Pages" (##) in Calc...

And I found out that there is some inconsistency:
- when printing inside a sheet, "Pages" refer to the number of pages inside the sheet - no matter how much you print of them. - when printing across sheets, "Pages" refer to the number of pages of the actual print.

In the first case "Pages" is higher or even to the number of actual printed pages, whereas in the second case "Pages" is always equal to the number of printed pages.


So I was wondering, if - despite fixing this inconsistency - it would make sense to add two additional field commands:
- # page sheet: page-counter in current sheet
- ## sheet pages: total number of pages in the current sheet.
- these both fc's would be totally independent of the actual number of pages printed.

Then, when printing across several sheets (and using the new fc). One could easily keep track not only about the overall pages, but also about the pages/count per sheet.

IMHO this would be really useful and would be an additional benefit of LO Calc.


What do you think?

(hoping that this is the right place)
