Frank is right - Mircosoft Word doesn't support somelike "automatic page

You are right wrt the property itself.
But, as I explain in my reply on Frank's mail, different headers/footers
can be implemented in Word.
I think that is far more user-critical than different margins.
AFAIK, if you want to change page margins in Microsoft Word inside your
text flow, you need to insert at least a continuous section break. But,
this break will also break your text flow. If you additionally want to
change the page header or page footer, you need to unlink the page
header/footer from its previous one.
That is how it works.
Unlinking of headers/footers to previous ones doesn't exist in OOo. But
we don't miss that, since every page style can have it's own.
If you want to switch off a page
header of page footer, I don't know a certain way in Microsoft Word to
do this.
Well, just by making it empty.
(Now I remember I owe the project the results of the discussion on the
Dutch users list wrt headers/footers: should they be placed in the page
margins (as in Word) or in the text area (as in OOo) - just a related
issue: 77320)
Probably, you find something for a concrete document by using
different page header/footer on first page and/or odd and even pages of
a certain Microsoft Word document section. But, I didn't see a general way.
But this behavior could be used to export the OOo way of headers/footers.
But, all these possible workarounds to simulate somelike "automatic page
break with changing the page style" will break the text flow, because a
break has to be inserted. That's something, that I don't think any user
wants to have.
Yes pls leave hard breaks out for this subject ;-)
Thanks,
Cor
