<pre>OK, that works - have just tried it and it saves OK.
But this is non-obvious; a 3-step process is needed:
1. highlight phrase on Left page; use Paragraph / Text flow / Insert Break page
number 1
2. adjust page number field on Left page to offset by -1
3. adjust page number field on Right page to offset by -1 (these are
independent)
And this is why LO is sometimes difficult to use.
We are now not fixing a UI situation, as there is a workaround (even if not
obvious) rather than fixing the thing <which is Step 1> so it works in an
obvious manner.
Rinse and repeat over years; such cruft builds ===> user is confused as they
are supposed to know dozens of non-obvious workarounds as the thing in front of
them does not do what it says on the tin.
And the use-case:
Writing a thesis. This has many sections all with different layout; the main
body (with Left-Right pages) comes after front page / contents / glossary etc
etc. i.e. several other format sections before the Left Right pairs start.
Thanks agn!</pre>
