(In reply to NSO LibreOffice Team from comment #2) > Created attachment 162228 [details] > About page format compatibility issues I confirm, that dashes get lost in Version: 7.0.0.0.beta2 (x64) Build ID: 1c213561a365b5666167321de68c9977500c9612 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL The grey shadow only marks, that there is a page number field. Print or PDF export should be without shadow. It's not possible to create such a page number field in writer. Don't know, if this is another bug or the solution for this one.
Thank you for confirming the problem. I tried to use 7.0.0.beta2 (x64) again and found that there is still a problem.

This looks like a pre-defined numbering format in MS Word that we don't have available in LibreOffice. (It must be very rarely used if we haven't added it yet.) So, just like you can chose between formatting like 1 and A and 1st and First..., the option chosen here is - 1 - This looks like a very arbitrary, hardcoded "numbering format". I don't see any value in adding this to LO. (It appropriately is mapped to a simple 1) If the user wants some "before" and "after" text around the page number, they can just type it themselves. It makes no sense to define an uncustomizable format choice like this.
