Hi,

Recently I have been authoring a document which involves differing page
styles throughout. The last time I tried this, using OpenOffice 2.2 I
think, I was able to choose portrait or landscape with options like
"from this point forward" or "this page only" if I remember correctly.
Now that I am using OpenOffice 3.0 I an unable to do this. I have read
the guide on how to apply differing styles here
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/FormattingPagesAndDocuments/How_do_I_insert_a_Landscape_page_into_my_%28portrait%29_document%3F>,
but this is (in my opinion) a long way for a short-cut, and also seems
to be very difficult to apply to a single page retrospectively. It also
seems extremely fiddly to make a new style for every type of page I may
ever want to have to use, including picking a name for it. Furthermore,
if I ever re-install my OS I will have to re-design all my previous styles.

A desirable tool would be to be able to just right-click, enter the page
menu and then apply whatever style either to the current page or from
this point forwards.

Kind regards,

Kieren Hinch
