If the Page Layout parameter in a page style is set to "Only right" (as the Right Page style is by default) and a heading style is used which is set to insert a page break before the heading, using that page style with the "Only right" setting (i.e., Right Page), under what circumstance will that page not be forced to be on an odd numbered page? I use this feature extensively. > > If I tell it to insert a page with the Right page style, then I can set > > that page style to not include a header. > > I. Don't you mean "First Page"? I use the "First Page" for my book title page. I don't use a header or footer there, and any or all of the margins may be set differently on that page. But for my chapter title page, I do want to keep most settings the same but remove the header. So no, I don't want to use the "First Page" style for the start of my chapter. > II.

I'm pretty > sure MS Word has this for section breaks which are also page breaks. Headers, footers, footnotes, margins, columns, etc. are all definable in the page styles. Where do you propose that these options should be set? > (In reply to David from comment #22) > > (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #20) > > > 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. > > But you can't be certain that it's a "Right Page"!

Why? The main body of my chapters use a totally different style, as specified by the Right Page style's "Next style" setting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
