Hi,
I am tryign to apply a Landscape A4 style for pages to a writer document.
I created one in the styles for pages, I right clicked in the styles and
formatting window, and choose to create a new one, named it LandscapeA4,
set
the page to A4 and Landscape, and set the Next style to Default.
when I am then at maybe page 4, mark the created LandscapeA4 style,
doubleclick in the page, then the first page is made landscape, the rest
stays
to the Default style.
How can I make an arbitrary page to be shown as landscape?
You almost got it. I know the answer is in the User Guide at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user guide2 draft.pdf
and, because this is a fairly common question, I think it is also a FAQ
item, so check
http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/word processing/index.html
thanks a lot, I missed the manual page break, now it works as expected. but I
do not yet understand, when I double click page four, why then page one is set
to landscape, because it is because that is the only page break in my
document?
Manual page breaks (i.e. any non-automatic page breaks) are controlled
entirely through paragraph attributes. Using Insert->Break->Page (with
page style) inserts a new paragraph and sets it's Break, With Page Style
and Break Before text flow attributes (see Format -> Paragraph -> Text
Flow -> Breaks). On the other hand, using Ctrl+Enter to insert a manual
page break paragraph only sets the paragraph's Break and Break Before
attributes, and the With Page Style attribute is not assigned, which
tells OOo to derive the page style from the most recent (in document
order) paragraph that has With Page Style set.
It appears that, when you are changing the page style via the stylist or
Status bar, you are changing the With Page Style text flow attribute of
the most recent (in document order) paragraph that already has the With
Page Style attribute set, which may be several pages back in the
document, or the very first paragraph in the document if no With Page
Style text flow attribute has been set.
