Hi Clayton! Thx for the post. Actually I have; after posting here the OP, then I d/l and read the section you refer to. I'm afraid I still have a few fundamental questions: it doesn't explain what the difference is between sections which appear at the 'same level' and those which appear indented as if 'belonging' to a previous section. Also, how the sequence in the list of sections relates to their actual position in the document flow.
Lastly, I need to have a different page style applied to pages 3-19 of my document. If the text already entered belongs to various sections (as it does currently), OOo doesn't allow me to apply a different page style to a few pages: the moment I change it somewhere, it changes throughout the document. So, all in all I still am lost as regards sections. And I am not even sure if I can't get it, or if Sections in OOo are still somewhat primitive, or at least peculiar in their concept. -A On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 2:44 PM, Clayton <[email protected]> wrote: > Alex Zachopoulos wrote: > > I have this Write file which I am putting together, and I would like to > keep > > it organized with Sections, so that I can apply different settings to > each > > section, such as page borders, headers & footers etc. > > As I type along, I have at various points selected Insert>Section... and > > setup new sections this way.
