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. --------------- ¿Have you defined a new page style? I am not an expert with sections, but I already used before. Press f11, then go to page style (four button left to right) and define a new style with your needs. Then insert for example a manual jump (insert menu, first option), select page jump and choose your new style... It's suppose it will work.. Sorry for my english. My native language is spanish and i'm still learning... Hope be readable. :-) Regards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
