Heh, they don't do much; there's a really old bug dating back to the Star Office days that affects files saved in the .doc/.docx format - basically you can't save a document with a starting page # greater than 255 w/o the page # reverting to "1". Maybe it's just a tough bug to fix but it seems like something that should be gotten to since most of the publishing industry wants book files submitted as an MS Word document. If you're writing a book you probably have the chapters in separate files; maintaining the page numbering is kind of important. Both the LibreOffice and OpenOffice projects have this bug filed but have yet to fix it; guess they are hoping MS Word will just go away.
