Jean, I do not believe multiple page styles works. I need several styles for a large document and I am completely unable to create a new page style and have it stick to a page. I have tried adding a manual break and using a special style only for the last page of a section where the "next style" is set. I have not tried to stick with the built-in styles, so they may work.
to recreate: take a large document give the first page the first page style give a few pages a TOC style you create give the next few pages a Body style you create give the next few pages an Appendix style give the last pages an Index style The problem with the "page break method": My Chapter headings are Heading1 style as you would expect, and they always start on a new page, as set in the style. If I add a page break I will get a blank page. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? and yes I have RFM. Thanks John On Tue, 2005-12-13 at 18:22 +1000, Jean Hollis Weber wrote: > >Simon wrote, > >>2.
