I use the Right Page style extensively to begin a chapter break, as defined by a heading style, to only begin on the right page. I do have the Right Page style set to use my normal page style for the rest of the chapter, which does have a asymmetrical, mirrored layout. Without resorting to direct formatting how do you propose this to be done? With your extensive experience, you should be well able to provide a template which would teach us how to more easily do this. > > II.

That makes First Page at least partially redundant.

I use the First Page style as a title page. Works fine for me. The whole point is to have a unrelated style on the first page, since I want no headers or footers and maybe even different margins. Again, what would you propose as the proper way to do this without the use of direct formatting and manually inserted pages? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
