--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
Wouldn't call it a wizard but agree that page numbering is not as obvious as
line and outline numbers. We should consider to merge those, and I'm not sure
if users expect also the usual numbering/bullets at the same dialog. Started a
redesign but that takes a little bit more grooming.

The question to me is whether or not the page numbering has special needs
compared to other types. Needs in terms of ODF definitions, which I guess is 

20.314 style:num-format
20.258 style:first-page-number

But then we do also have 7.3.4 text:page-number (Insert > Page Number) that
could easily be mixed-up with the style. Leading to the point where an
extension as mentioned in comment 3 makes no sense because "Insert page number"
overrides the *insert field* function with *format page style*. And messing up
with labels doesn't solve it because the underlying concept is not made for
Benjamin.

Putting all together I vote for a new dialog for numbering in general with a
clean  concept for all types.
