Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 31613
applying page styles breaks page numbering
Last modified: 2004-07-21 12:19:10 UTC
Steps to reproduce the problem: 1)Open a blank text document 2)From stylist --> page styles double click "first page" to apply the style 3)Press Enter until there is a second page after the first. 4)While inside the second page double click "Left Page" on the stylist. 5)Look at page numbers. First page is now page 2 and second page is now page 4.
By applying "Left Page" in the described way, "Left page" is applied to the whole document. And referring to a book layout, left pages are all even page numbers. Thus you have page 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 2 on a layout with changing page types. Refer to the OOo Writer Help (keyword "Page Styles") for further information on proper work with Page Styles.
closing issue. It works as designed.
