If you want "Page 2 of 5" insert "Page #page# of #count#" User may want page count without page number and page number without page count. They are two different fields. I am not sure to understand well what you want, so, please, attach a document which demonstrates the problem. Best regards. JBF (In reply to comment #1) > (In reply to comment #0) > Why ? > > If you want "Page 2 of 5" insert "Page #page# of #count#" I've figured that the pootle link was related to DB Wizard. Sorry for that. However, i think that's not only me to understand this field function as page page of count. As i said it was documented. See page 137 of the Writer guide attached. You may consider, it as to say: firstly add a page, than type of than add the count field. But i think it is not the way that it should be. But it should be simpler than now. The end user should guess to combine page+count fields. Doing it simple, but figuring how to add a simple Page / Count is sometimes not that easy. For example i understand from the guides page that, this fields working as it is shown on the figure. But actually it is not. > User may want page count without page number and page number without > page count. They are two different fields. Yes may be, but it may be not. On the other hand, i don't think that the count is widely used separate than the page number. Commonly, it makes no sense to have just the count in all pages of a document. For example, the Writer Guide is about 463 pages. Who wants to see 463 in each pages? It is ok if you will use it, as "This document consists #count# pages". But i can say that i'am working in a bank, we create aggrements, letters etc. we should use page of count, and i never needed to use count separately. Micrsoft Word have various options for page numbering; page number + page number combined with count. Wish to have some options for Page Number field. I think it must be easier to add the a/m format with one click. > I am not sure to understand well what you want, so, please, attach a > document which demonstrates the problem. Sorry for the confusion, and misunderstanding.(It can be misunderstand when localized too) But you may consider this bug report as a request for adding a new Page Numbering Sytle as: Insert->Fields->Page Number/Count or something suitable.
