Way back when, I wrote some unnecessarily complex instructions about
using page styles in book design, because I didn't know any better. I
think those instructions are (a) still on my website, (b) still in the
Writer Guide, and (c) still misleading lots of people. One of these
years I'll change them to describe the easy method first, since that
suits the needs of most people.
Jean,
To my mind, the fault lies not in your instructions, but in the feature
itself. It cries out for a Wizard, to help the user through all the
advance planning, and all the little but critical details.
Still, if you or someone provides better instructions, I will be glad to
see them. Though I make extensive use of paragraph and character
styles, I find page styles too intimidating to try (but then, I don't do
any printing). /tj
Gosh! I think page styles are easier to set up and use than paragraph
styles, even with minimal advance planning. Apparently I really do
need to write another tutorial or two on the subject. Actually, I'm
working on one for the book I'm writing on self-publishing. I'll let
the list know when it's ready.
