Multiple page styles (built-in or custom) do work; I use them all
the time, including a series of page styles similar to the list
you gave in your note. You can set these up to work automatically
(in some cases, such as from the first page to the TOC style) or
insert manual page breaks (such as from the TOC style to the Body
style). I use both methods in the same document.

If your Heading 1 style is set to start on a new page
automatically, then do *not* insert a page break manually to
start a new chapter. If you want to change from one page style to
another (say, at the end of the TOC), put your cursor in the
first paragraph of the first chapter (the paragraph with the
Heading 1 style), right-click, choose Paragraph, go to the Text
Flow tab, and change the setting for "Page Style" to your Body style.
I may need to revise the info on page styles in the Writer Guide
to make this more clear, that it's one or the other: a manual
page break OR a heading style with an automatic page break.
