--- Comment #4 from Rachel Greenham <[email protected]> --- Can confirm, on a fresh document, nothing imported from a foreign format. Inserting a page break, specifying the same page style, isn't enough for the next page to count as a "first" page for the purposes of choosing not to have a header on it. It is necessary to insert a page of another page style in between. Then when you follow that with a page of the original page style, it hides its header properly. It's certainly not necessary (or desireable) to reset the page numbering, but it does seem to really need a break in contiguoius page *style*. (I also tried making it a section break. It made no difference; though it might be desirable to organise the doc that way anyway, it doesn't help here.) I guess we can revive "This page intentionally left blank" pages strewn through our novels ;-) Slightly more seriously if you have the services of an illustrator you can stick an illustration there, but these are workarounds. I would say... the presumption so far has been that specifying the page style on a page break isn't a clear enough declaration of intent, if it's the same page style as the page it follows. It's easily missed. Maybe there should be some actual flag (checkbox) you can set on a page break, on the text flow tab of a style, that says clearly, somehow, that this is a "first page" for formatting purposes. Other things btw might be hung on that, such as being able to specify that "first pages" should always be a right-hand page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
