I did it as well. And I learnt a lot about LO ;-)

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  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!

Although I  don't see the use, case, I found, that you have the possibility to
set pagenumber to 0.

1. Insert Pagenumber
2. Mark pagenumber => Context menu: Edit fields
3. Set Offset to -1

=> RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Left-Right pages are pairs. Yet, the traditional first page of a document is
the right-hand page. What number then is the (mandatory) Left page of a
Left-Right pair, if the Right is page 1? :)

I can't see a use case for having a page number 0. I never saw this. Page
counting always starts with 1 or the Roman I. Of course there might be some
pages before. But they never have the page number 0. So I would say NOTABUG.
