After saving MS document (.rtf or .docx) and reopening it, page number offset goes away (i.e. it starts from 1)
Created attachment 62802 [details] Page Number Changes to Page 1 for DocX
I have confirmed this bug with both rtf and docx format using Build: 80d5a21 (Version 3.6.0alpha1) Added two attachments. When I created the documents the first page was set to page 7 and showed correctly in the footer. After closing the document and reopening it the page changed to page 1. Marking as CONFIRMED. Just as a note to those experiencing this bug, there is rarely an instance when saving in docx is necessary thus the trivial status.
Created attachment 62803 [details] Same bug with RTF
Comment on attachment 62803 [details] Same bug with RTF RTF file without offset. Did some retests, RTF import is fine :-). Marking this rtf-file as obsolete

FIXED I open test file in Word 2011 and LO 4.2.3.3 on OSX 10.9.2 and they both display page number "7". Looking good. Then in LO save as "newfile" docx. Close Lo + re-open file. Still page number "7". Seems one of the above commits did indeed fix this. Please re-open if the issue persists for you.
