Good ideas, indeed! Just a small point about the proposal: you are separating direct formatting (Content properties) from styles (Style list) which is a good idea, but we must keep in mind that there is no "direct formatting" for pages on Writer: the menu you get when you go to Format → Page does *not* do direct formatting, it just edit the current page style. IMO, the options are: - to not include page information on the content properties docker - to just show a static info panel giving the option to edit the corresponding page style or to apply one of the styles from a list. Maybe (thinking aloud in real time) instead of a "page" section it would be more interesting to show a "breaks" section, where you can insert and manage page breaks with change of page styles and reset of page numbering... or maybe put all this on its own panel. The possibility to edit the page style should be limited to the style list panel. Regards Ricardo
