Offset page numbering doesn't work as documented
Last modified: 2005-12-20 13:39:36 UTC
Hello! I open a new writers document, insert a pagenumber, select and right-click on the number and choose "fields". I get a dialog where I can set the format of the pagenumber. The documentation (in German at least) says that I can offset the pagenumber with that dialog using "+1" for example: "Korrektur - Geben Sie den Korrekturwert ein, der auf ein Seitenzahlfeld angewendet werden soll, z. B. "+1"." But this doesn't work. If I input "+1" into the offset-field the page-number on the document will get empty. I know that I can go to the the first paragraph on the first page and use Format -> Paragraph -> Text -> Breaks -> Insert -> "With Page Style" and set the starting page number. But with that I have another problem: Having a document with only one page (which sould be named "Page 2") my printer prints this page and an empty page and it seems not possible to get rid of the empty page. So it would be greate to have a solution for these problems or at least change the documentation.
