"What is the effect of Tools > Options > Writer > Printing ... "Print
automatically inserted blank pages" for your case?"

Hi Cor,
I ran the test on the test-document that I posted albove.
When editing in "Book mode", un-checking "Print automatically inserted blank
pages" results in blank pages not being printed. This remains irrelevant since
I can not create the document in a sensible fashion. 


-This setting is of little relevance.
It does not affect the way the document reacts to viewing settings, and it

correct, that is what I wrote.

changes nothing to the pdf export. 

There is the same option in PDF export.
I looked, but could not find such a setting. This does not imply that this
setting does not exist. However, this too is irrelevant to my problem.



My problem is one of editing, not printing.

You also wrote that it is a problem that in published documents, too many
pages needs to be replaced because of this option influencing page
numbering..
So that is confusing.

The problem that I have is that I would end up with a document that has 50% to
100% more pages than necessary due to auto-inserted blank pages. As thing stand
now, there is already too little space in the portable ring-binder that should
hold the document. Unchecking the printing option reduces the number of printed
pages, but it does not let me view the document properly while editing.

But the request is to have an option to not have the automatic inserted
blank pages, with as consequence that in a printed book at one moment right
pages have odd numbers, and at another position even numbers?

The basic issue is that to view the document correctly with left hand page to
the left and right hand page to the right, writer must put the first page to
the right. Writer only does this in "book mode", but then it inserts blank
pages all through the document. The issue can be solved in two ways:
1: make it possible to suppress the auto-insertion of blank pages in book mode.
2: make it possible to position the first page to the right outside of book
mode. 
Both solutions could be selected over a simple checkbox in the appropriate
menu. 
Please play around with the document I uploaded and see if you can get it to
view correctly. I can only acheive this be de-selecting book-mode and adding a
blank page in front of the first page. 

I am sorry about needing so much text to explain the problem, but it was not
easy to find and understand the underlying issue, and it is not an obvious bug.
