The reason for mentioning spreadsheet documents here is that text documents and spreadsheet document have different pagination concepts: Within text documents, one usually specifies for a certain paragraph or table that it should start with a certain page number. The attribute for this is called style:page-number, and it can be used for paragraph or table styles. To start a document with a certain page number, one has to assign the style:page-numer attribute to the paragraph style that is applied to the first paragraph of the document. Within spreadsheet documents, the spreadsheets themselves do not contain any pagination. Only when printing documents, the spreadsheets are distributed over one or more pages. A page style that is assigned to the spreadsheet contains the information that is required to do so, for instance the information whether the pages should run from the top to the bottom first or from the left to the right first. The style:first-page-number here has the purpose to specify the number of the first page of a spreadsheet. > > Can I suggest to remove "spreadsheet" from the description of 14.2.15 (style:first-page-number)? > We may of course remove the "spreadsheet" here and state that for text documents, the specified page number will be used for the document's first page, provided that this page is formatted according to the page layout the attribute is contained in, but this change is not required for the use case you have described. Please let me know if you think we should change this anyway (until Thursday evening, because we agreed that our voting will start on Friday). I assume no one of the other TC members would have objections to change this, so we might vote about this change together with our committee draft voting. Michael
