halvaughan,

No one was trying to insult you.  It was simply stated that certain design
decisions were made, and a reason for those decisions was given.  The reason
stated may not make much sense to you, but it was given with the intent of
helping you use alternate functionality that does exist in OOo without the need
for some fairly complex changes.

There are two significant word processing programs that do not allow margins to
be changed multiple times within the same page.  One is MS Word.  The other is
OOo/StarOffice Writer.  Your usage pattern may not reflect that of most users
(far more use Word than Wordperfect), but that doesn't mean that they are
crippled when using these programs.  It doesn't mean that OOo needs to be
hard/impossible for writers like you to use either.

When I began using OOo, I kept being told how powerful the Styles and Formatting
window can be and how it can make life so much easier for those changing
formatting often.  I didn't know how to use it or how nice it could be.  So, I
requested a tutorial for it.  None existed.  I have since learned how to use it
to some degree (I'm sure that there is more I could learn to be more productive
with it).  I will try to write up a quick tutorial for you and post it here as
an attachment.  I hope it will help ease some/most/all of your pain.
