Description Luke Kendall 2024-03-25 09:29:23 UTC 
If for example you have page styles defined so that the start of a book (after an introductory section) forces the next page to skip a page (e.g. so that page one starts on an odd numbered page), and you use Go To page to jump to that (e.g. the TOC to update it), the Go To Page will simply do nothing.

Suggestion: Instead of failing, Writer should jump to the closest page to the non-existent page number.
