--- Comment #5 from Justin L <[email protected]> --- How to fix? I don't think the computer can do that. 1.) If the follow style doesn't have a separate first header/footer, then the first section's header/footer could be moved to the follow style - but that would lose any special margins on the first page. 2.) The two page styles (aka sections) could remain separate, but in that case we have no ability to know when to apply the second section (since there is no explicit page break). [I believe this is the current implementation.] [One complication here is that DOCX import STILL uses First Page style instead of "different content on first" (bug 136472), so care is needed not to break the import side, because we don't know if the First Page usage comes from import or from user design.] AFAIK, at present, the First Page settings will apply to the rest of the document. Whether that is appropriate depends on the document itself. [Note that "First Page" is simply an implementation of a generic first-follow, so unless the built-in "First Page" style is treated as a special edge case, we can't make assumptions about how the first-follow style should work. I suppose a case could be made that in these cases the FOLLOW style's settings should take priority. I believe at present the FIRST style's settings are the ones being applied.] I think my personal take is that we should NOT try to improve the current experience. Since this is all guesswork, a poor response is best since then the user is more clearly alerted that they need to play with the settings. Nevertheless here is something that does just that - implementing option 1. http://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/123271 tdf#144013 ms export: prefer follow page-style over first -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
