How does one have multiple page formats in a Writer (or other OO) document - either with or without use of Page styles? [Example: a page without columns (that is, 1 column) followed by a page with two columns, followed by a page without columns.]

I have tried:
- Formatting one page, then inserting a page break, then formatting the next page. - Setting a page style for one page, then inserting a page break, then setting a page style for the next page. Either way it breaks: whenever the page format is changed, or a new page style is invoked, it seems to apply to the whole document.

This seems like a common problem, and thus pretty basic requirement, for a word processor, but I've wasted a lot of time looking for an answer. The Wiki <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Working_with_page_styles> spuriously touches on this topic - in the context of a cover page followed by default pages - and then dithers into an irrelevant discussion of how to set page style. [One might infer that the only way it even contemplates using multiple styles per page is in that context of a cover page and later pages.] It never returns to the question of how to invoke multiple styles in a document.

I can't believe this is not possible.  Anyone know the secret?
