I think the page numbering options for Writer can be improved upon.
- Allowing fields to be inserted into text boxes would greatly improve styling, especially if it allows the user to rotate field elements as I’ve had no luck rotating fields or frames. I found no way to have page numbers appear vertical. It wouldnt be essential when writing my own documents but the document of my office keeps them that way.
- Having a more user friendly way to customize page numbers. I had a document where I needed the page number to start at 2601 instead of 1 but could not find a direct way to change page numbers outside of offsetting or custom page breaks leaving me with an awkward first page.
