Hi Clayton! Thx for the post.
Actually I have; after posting here the OP, then I d/l and read the section
you refer to. I'm afraid I still have a few fundamental questions: it
doesn't explain what the difference is between sections which appear at the
'same level' and those which appear indented as if 'belonging' to a previous
section. Also, how the sequence in the list of sections relates to their
actual position in the document flow.
Lastly, I need to have a different page style applied to pages 3-19 of my
document. If the text already entered belongs to various sections (as it
does currently), OOo doesn't allow me to apply a different page style to a
few pages: the moment I change it somewhere, it changes throughout the
document.
So, all in all I still am lost as regards sections. And I am not even sure
if I can't get it, or if Sections in OOo are still somewhat primitive, or at
least peculiar in their concept.
