Description: If a video or series of screenshots for how to create page numbers in a footer/header, let me know. I've been with OOO and LO and donated several times since early 2000s. I looked at the 700 page 7.3 documentation doc. It looks like you are making LO to be as complicated as InDesign. Insert Page Number in Footer is a good example of an intermediate skill, no longer possible to do. Youtube tutorials on earlier versions are worse than nothing as 7.3 has a completely different conception-which I cannot track to succeed with. I suggest LO NOT compete with InDesign, that it hold steady on the target of replicating MS Office WORD and it's clunky but easy to explain function. Alternatively, do a new branch of LO with a new name which does approach InDesign. Actual Results: the only result I can get for a page number is the text "Page Number" appearing in what must be the page numbering field. Expected Results: In earlier LO editions, in normal (pages view) the system gives the page number in the field. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: The 7.3 documentation suggests entering a page number is about five levels deep. I suggest you change this to no more than three levels deep, no deeper than MS Office has this function, even if its less elegant or incompatible for InDesign-like production.
