Comment 16 for bug 118935

Just tested https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44689 and set that to "fixed" since it seems to work.

To offset a page number in LO you need at least as many pages in the document as which you want to offset.

worksforme:

* create writer document with 3 pages
* insert > Field (loose translation here!) > Page number
* double click page number
* enter correction (loose translation!) value of "1"

Page number should display 2 while inserted on first page

If you think this is bad behavior, please create a new bug with exact suggestions about what you would like to see improved and in what why that could be done.

Offset in general does work, so closing this very old bug.
