Hi,
Thanks for the response It's true that manual breaks with Insert >
Manual Break, and the Break With feature, do preserve more formatting
than the Next Style feature in the Organizer tab, which preserves
nothing. The headers and footers are preserved in the first two
approaches, as are page borders and jumps from page 2 to page 66.
Landscape versus portrait is also preserved.
However, no background formatting is preserved, and the page style names
are changed to Default for the first one, Convert1 for the second, and
so on.
I see that http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73533 and
other issues address this and that it is slated for "OOo later". I
didn't see any workarounds listed yet. I'll blog about this and related
bugs and encourage voting for them.
Thanks,
Solveig

Subject: [users] Page styles in OpenOffice.org, and Word
You've to use the manual page breaks which are converted into section breaks
when exported in .doc. See here :

Hi,
I've been experimenting with file conversions and have found that, since
Word doesn't have page styles per se, that one can't save page styles in
a .doc format document. This means if you create a Writer document, use
page styles, and save it in .doc format, the page style and the
corresponding formatting go away when you close and re-open the file.
Given the dependency of OOo Writer on page styles to do anything at all
interesting with layout, this seems like a bit of a problem for those
wanting to stick with .doc format in order to work with those using MS
Office. No documents with different orientations on different pages, no
documents with different headers/footers, etc. are possible with this
issue. I've also noticed that, whether one is using page styles or not,
background graphics disappear under the same circumstances.
Is there a workaround, a plan in place to create page styles based on
the formatting in a .doc file, or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Solveig
