Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 50333
Page Number count in Header incorrect
Last modified: 2005-06-05 21:18:49 UTC
The total page count shown in the header (eg. Page: 1 / 99 ) is incorrect when using page styles. It displays one page too many. Steps to create the problem were as follows: Created Page Style CoverPage (no headers or footers) Created Page Style IndexPage with headers and footers (header containing page count) Went to end of first page Inserted manual break with new page style being IndexPage. Reset page number to one. Went to first page and reset the style back to CoverPage Page count = 3, both in the header and on the status line, with only two pages being present in the document. (see attached ODT file for an example)

Yes, it is a known problem. Please see issue 3910.
as regina mentioned: Known issue. It is a feature that unfortunately cannot be turned off (OOo uses book-style layout. odd pages are always right pages, so when an odd page number follows an odd page number (when you restart page-numbering), OOo inserts an even (left page). Compare page-preview and the whole story in issue 3910 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3910 ***
