Using OOo 3.2.0 on Windows XP Pro X64 I have a document from Word, just a few pages.
I know I can click on a page and then double-click a page-style name to apply that style. However, I want to accomplish the opposite. How can I make the current first page _become_ a named style? That is, the style should pick up all settings and placments, keeping everything as-is, including the graphic elements across the top and bottom (logo stuff) ? Right now, that first page is "Default" page style, and I want to have only the following pages be 'Default', and the first page should have a useful style name. The following pages should _not_ have_ all the graphic stuff (which seems to be sorta part of a header... not sure how cleanly all this happens when it's imported from Word). I figure I have to have different styles so that I can keep the graphics on the first page, and not have them on the following pages. The reason I want to do this is that today the document decided arbitrarily to start repeating the graphic elements on each page. It did not do this before. Right now, the pages are all "Default" (since I never declared them to be any other page style), and after applying a manual break between the first and second pages, I cannot apply another page style to the first page, without losing that header where I want it. To lose it where I _do_ want it gone (pages 2-through-8) I just grabbed the first non-"Default" page style that would allow itself to be applied to multiple pages (Index, I think), but this is unsatisfactory. So, I've got "Default", "Index", "Index", "Index"... In a perfect world, that first page would be "First Page" but would look the way it looks now, and the following pages would be something else (maybe 'Default', maybe some other name), but their main attribute would be that they don't look like the first page.
