------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu May 19 08:59:03 -0700 2005 ------- I can concur with this. Tried valiantly with m95 to set up a document with the following page styles: o coverpage - no header & footer o indexpage - header and footer, with page numbers starting from "i" o mainbody - header and footer, with page numbers starting from "1" I wanted to use the page styles as seen above in a document as a report. Different document sections were being used with which with I wanted the above page styles to be used (in the order listed above). I thus created the above styles in the above order and attempted to put them in place in the same order, using Insert Break | Page Break | Style. Much difficulties were found with the following tasks - getting the page number format correct (roman numeral "i" versus numeric "1") - getting the page numbers correct, ie to start from "i" & "1" for each relevant section - getting the correct page styles in place whilst putting the page breaks in I sometimes got the wrong styles running in the different section instead of the ones that I wanted. It was very hard to determine the section in effect (as the section breaks codes did not display properly, even with the setting turned on). I gave up in the end and did a vanilla document. So the page style functionality appears very unstable/unusuable to me for new styles (at least under Linux). I did not test it using the existing styles delivered with a virgin OOo install (to see if it only applies to new page styles created) The issues experienced apart from the above were OOo crashes, OOo hanging and even the KDE desktop system getting affected (slowing down almost to a halt). I am running MDK9.1 and executing OOo m95 under KDE 3.2.3. Document format was .ODT not .sxw. I also recall that MS had lots of problems with styles in the earlier versions of Word under Windows.
