Hi Johnny,
Clicking on a page style in the stylist allways applies it to the
first page of the document. I've never seen it different in OOo.
The styles of the following pages, depend on either:
- what is defined as nex page style (Stylist, rightclick on page
style, Change, tab Manage), or
- on what is set with manual breaks (Insert|Break ...) or
- on what is set in the format of the paragraph on top of a page
(Format|Paragraph|Text flow ....)
HTH & Greetings,
Cor
Am I the only one who wants it to work the way I describet? That is,
that clicking on a page style should change the style on the current
page, just like clicking a paragraph style changes the of the current
paragraph. I can't see the advantages by changing the style of the
FIRST page instead of the CURRENT page, when double clicking a style.
I've re-studied the subject, in order to react properly to your
questions. Thus I found out, that I was wrong in the idea that clicking
applies the page style to the fist page of the document.
It turns out to be a little more complicated (I'm working in 2.0.3 RC1
currently).
Double clicking on a page style in the Stylist applies that page style
to the first page after the break where the section starts in which the
cursor is.
So if there is no break set (Ctrl-Enter / Insert|Break /
Format|Paragraph|Text flow ...) the page style will apply to the first
page of the document.
Another feature found: right clicking on the name of the page style in
the status bar, give a context menu from which other page styles can be
selected.
So two possibilities:
a) the Help file is incorrect / not clear enough (which is the same for
a Help file ;-) )
b) the function doesn't work as it should, in this sense, that applying
a different page style (by double clicking in the Stylist or by the
context menu of the page style on the status bar) should ad a break to
the first paragraph of the current page, so that indeed only the current
page is affected.
Do you think it would be a good idea to file a request with Issuezilla,
or would the response be be that only I want this feature?
Pls do, it's definitely one of the mentioned defects
Probably there's an issue for it already, but if you cannot find it,
others, more at home in issuetracker, will mark that.
Greetings,
Cor
