Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20109
page number field changing offset error
Last modified: 2005-03-02 14:37:43 UTC
Chaning the page number field's offset into a number not equal to zero results to a blank page number field; no numbers. Tested in winXp home (upgrade from oo 1.0.3.1) and winMe (fresh install). replicate: 1. create new document 2. insert->fields->page number 3. double-click inserted field to change offset 4. change offset to any number not equal to zero
changed version to OOo1.1RC5 changed status to new reassigned to ufi please change the helpcontent to make clear that this offset is just for the real pagecount in the document. @shemgp: this offset just handles the real amount of pages in the docuemt if you got 1 page and set an offset of +1 the field is empty, if you have a document with two pages and set an offset of 1 the firstpage gots the number 2 and the second is empty. Staroffice behaves like this since it exists, maybe there will be a change in a later version.
.
works as designed. The help says: If you want, you can enter an Offset for the displayed page number. With an Offset value of 1, the field will display a number that is 1 more than the current page number, but only if a page with that number exists. On the last page of the document, this same field will be empty.
