--- Comment #16 from Robert Heel <[email protected]> ---
I've done some tests and I will give it a try. I'm not sure if I get your idea.
I know this was working in an old version, but perhaps this was at staroffice
time ... I've checked out OOo 1.0.2, the bug is still there.
*General*
You can apply a page style only with the "Styles and Formatting" (F11) window
in the "Page Style" by placing the cursor on a page and double click the
desired style, or using the "Fill Format Mode", which applies the selected
style on the page you click.
Note: "Menu -> Format -> Page..." changes only the current style of the page,
and is applied on all pages with that page style.
There are three different ways to generate a "New Pages" in writer.
A) Continuous text reaches the end of the page
B) Insert a standard "Page Break" (either CTRL+RETURN, or "Menu -> Insert ->
Page Break" or "Menu -> Insert -> Manual Break... -> Page break with Style:
[none]"
C) Insert a page break with a style change ("Menu -> Insert -> Manual Break...
-> Page break with Style: xxx"
*Actual behavior*
Applying a page style affects multiple pages until a type "C" page break
divides the pages.
This confuses novice users.
*Expected behavior*
As the "Character Style" is only applied to the selected character(s), and the
"Paragraph Style" is only applied to the selected paragarph(s), a user expect
that the "Page Style" is only applied to the selected page(s).
This is not possible, because the number of pages of continuous text (type "A")
depends on the page style.
But with a simple page break (type "B") your text is divided into two parts, so
it's possible to apply the new page style between two page breaks.
*Change*
There should be no difference between type "B" and "C", a page style change
should stop at every page break of type "B" and "C", not only on type "C".
Comments? Should I create a new bug report with this information?
