I have a document that contains two columns. Some years ago in MS word, By adding two fields in footer, It’s was possible numbering pages by columns. The fields were something like these:
below column 1: 1 + (page-1)*2
below column 2: 2 + (page-1)*2
I tried understand how can create this fields in LO writer, But I couldn’t. In MS word I remembered by pressing CTRL+F9 you can type field. In LO writer, CTRL+F9 only shows field name.
There is no “current page number” variable in Writer. Basically, what you ask is impossible; you can use a number range just increase numbers when you need (in the text body), but you can’t put such number range fields to headers/footers, so no auto-numbering.
The same applies to a similar request to number every, say, even page.
I think that it’s better/easier to set the page width to half.
Then you can print two pages in one sheet.
