I thank you for all the good help you have given me. But, would not the need
for guy with average intelligence and experience having to go to askLibo for
help on using certain LibreOffice feature be a sign that this feature is not as
intuitive as it cold be and/or, Help is not as helpful as it could be?

Is this good UI practice, to make changes automatically, behind the user's
back? That is, the user has to remember that he made this request or he must be
aware that this request has already been made for him/her.

Easy to mistakenly specify the starting page out of sequence, or, unwittingly
cancel the page swapping. Why not use a "Both sides printing" style? 

> Does these explanations match your need?

Thanks for the explanations. The challenge is how to make it easier for the
"next guy/gal" to figure this out ..and the next ..without your patient help.
