Summary	0016155: Every page should be in a section (and proposal for a UI revolution)
Description	currently, i in a 4 pages document we can have a single section that spans from the second to the third page. this makes me uncomfortable. i guess that everything would be easier if every page had to be in a section. as an example there would no need for the "To" column. and the "From" one: - can be called "Starting page" - and cannot be modified for the first section i would also rename "Start" with "First page number" and move it before "style". but, i also think that the section should not be a table but a list of widgets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name: [ ] Starts on page: [ 1] [x] Page Numbering Start: [ 1] [ ] Reversed Style: [ 1,2,3,... v] Padding: [ 0] Character: [ ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ also, if the last section starts on the last page, the "add" button should be grayed out. (currently, we can have two sections in a one page document...) also (2), if there is a current page, the first section created should start on that page. finally, i wonder why there is a checkbox for "Shown"... if you don't want a page number, just use a master page without a page number...
Additional Information	i'm willing to work on this if i get the ok from the team. the changes would only be in the UI and not in the way the values are stored in the document.
