            Bug ID: 141763
           Summary: Create a separate page count for each page style
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: aschwarz at acm.org

Description:
see
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/24941/separate-page-count-for-each-style/
and
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71583&redirected_from=fdo

Page counts are per document and not document section. The result is that page
counts are reported for the entire document. I would like to be able to reset
the page count from document scoped to page style scoped. Bug 71583 and 105668.

This seems to be a long standing enhancement request (2013 and 2017). Could
this be worked on for the next release?

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In footer/header: select Insert->Fields->Page Count or Insert->Fields->More
Fields->Page Count
2.The page count is global to the document.
3.

Actual Results:
There is no way to reset the page count to be section-centric rather than
document-centric. This results in the page count reflecting the total pages in
the document and is at variance with the use of the page number, viz., setting
the page number to '1' in any page style and retaining the page count for the
entire document shows and incorrect number of pages for the page style where
the page number has been reset.

Expected Results:
It would be nice to be able to specialize the page count to reflect a document
section rather than the entire document. In this way, for example, appendices
in a document can be renumbered and re-page counted, so that the appendix
number of pages is reflected rather then the total document.


Reproducible: Always
