Description nostra.vindobona 2016-10-12 07:41:01 UTC
If I insert the field "page number" in the headline of a text document selecting a correction "k" to be applied, the last "k" pages do not show a page number, the field is left empty. 
Example: document consists of three pages. I want to start page numbers not with "1", but with "3". I insert a field "page number" with a correction of "2". In this case, the first page shows - correctly - the page number 3, the second and third page show an empty field. The mistake occurs not only in LibreOffice under Ubuntu, but also in OpenOffice under Windows.

Hi Nostra,

Thanks for reporting here!
For changing page numbers you need to use a different way.
In the Text Flow tab of the first paragraph of a page, you can set that.
Please see the Help or ask user support :)

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the hint - found how it works. But the idea of hiding an attribute of the page behind formatting a paragraph seems kind of strange to me.
