Description Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2025-03-20 18:03:28 UTC 
This is related to bug 71583

Docx example attachment 198178 [details] contains a few pages of text and a few section breaks.
In the header and footer there is a SectionPages field, which shows the number of pages before the next section break. This counter is reset in Word by a Next Page section break (see page 5), Even Page section break (page 7), Odd Page section break (page 8) and Continuos section break (page 10).

It would be nice for interoperability to have a similar field implemented in Writer. Of course first the above kinds of section breaks would need to be implemented, so I consider this low priority for now.
