Bug ID: 167437
Summary: Custom pages styles and styles do not maintain state
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
in Librewrite I created several custom page styles for my manuscript that
disappear after I close the application. Also - using style attributes like
DropCap? These do not maintain user choices after closing LibreOffice so each
time I go back to open the document I have to go through the Edit Style process
each and every time. Also, using existing styles and turning on/off the header
and footer does not maintain state so I am constantly struggling with page
numbering that works properly within a manuscript. This happens even if I
specify no other page styles to "follow" or that it is based off of a previous
style.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I have created all new styles several times
2.I saved my style set up as a template to try and lock in those manuscript
styles
3. I've used Manual breaks to identify the change over from styles.
Actual Results:
Template saved fine BUT the inability for the software to save those custom
styles so that they may be used as I intend does not happen
Expected Results:
When I create a style, or use an existing one and edit it to perform as I need
(like proper page numbering), they need to maintain the options I chose and
stop bleeding those changes into other styles
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Manuscripts need to have a powerful page numbering system that does not start
each and every time from the first page of the document - like title,
Copyright, TOC, etc. Manuscript page numbering always starts at the first page
of the actual story. Also - the last pages - things like acknowledgments and
about have their own non-numbered status. I created custom page styles and
paragraph styles but they either disappear or lose my choices each time I open
the document
