I confirm it, that it isn't possible with LO but with MS Word (also if you save LO-file as docx.

Not sure, if this is a bug or an enhancement request. I'm also not sure, if it is a bug of LO or not.

I went into a folder in Explorer and:

- Right-Clicked on a Column > "More..."
- Enabled "Pages" column.

I then had same file in 3 different formats:

1. DOCX from Word
2. DOCX from Word->LibreOffice
3. ODT from LibreOffice

where:

1. # of Pages showed.
2. # of Pages showed.
3. NOTHING

> I confirm it, that it isn't possible with LO but with MS Word (also if you save LO-file as docx.

Hmmm... looks like that may have been fixed since 2020, because I saw a Page # from an LO DOCX file.

!!!BUT!!!

Oddly, it was a:

- 412 page DOCX

but the "Pages" column showed:

- 217

and when I opened/resaved the Word->LibreOffice DOCX in LO again, the "Pages" column then showed:

- 370

so there is definitely SOMETHING strange going on here with how the LO metadata is calculated/saved.

In the DOCX's /docProps/app.xml file, I was able to find:

- <Pages>370</Pages>

even though LO's status bar, at the time, said "Page 412 of 412".

> Not sure, if this is a bug or an enhancement request. I'm also not sure, if it is a bug of LO or not.

Seems like it's an Enhancement Request for the ODT filter to get Page #s out of the ODT metadata.

So that Windows Explorer's "Pages" column can look inside the...

- ODT's meta.xml file

and grab the:

- meta:page-count
