Bug 49787

*** Bug 57673 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

That never worked in OOo / LibO, limitation is inherited from OOo; see AOOo issue!

Note that for issue as I observed it (Unable to set different backgrounds ('None' and 'Colour: Black') for different slides in a presentation.) Help page and message prompt indicate that setting different backgrounds is (i.e. should be) possible.

Created attachment 70795 [details]
Sample how it works

@Jeremy 
You can create different backgrounds easily in 'View -> Master View' (I checked with LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 rc" German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 2ef5aff] {pull date 2012-11-28} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) and then use different slide backgrounds as you can see in attached sample documents.

So it is easy to assign different backgrounds in a document, but I will have to check whether there is an "import" from an other document will work.

If you simple changed the "Default" background color in the document from where you imported a slide it's expected that the background color of the target document will be used. If in both documents Styles with the same name are used the Style definition of the target document will be used.

@Rainer 
Thanks.

Have played around some more: turns out my problem was down to trying to apply a background of 'None' (specifically) to an individual slide, i.e. not understanding how it comes together in this area.

Hi @jeremy,
so we can close this as 'worksforme' ?

The original issue (portrait/landscape in one file) has not been resolved so far. Please let it in its current state.

OK, then I update the summary :-)

Hi,
Can I add to this request?
My requirement is to have different size pages with different orientations in the one document.
I use Visio and this is standard usage for drawings we create. Eg A4 cover page, A3 wiring diagrams etc. Sometimes go to A2 to fit it all in one the one page.
If we want uniform printing, we will print all to fit (scaled to one size - eg A3) otherwise individual pages get printed as required.

I am using LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 on Win XP.

Thanks,
Tony

Updated the topic to include the issue of different page sizes.

As per comment #2 I am including a link to the equivalent AOO bug, which has seen little attention in the nine years since it was raised. This is purely for information only.

Hi,

   I just got burned by this.  Can you guys add this to your next release?

Many thanks,

This bug started life as a request to implement page styles, but the summary has been edited to specify page orientation and page size (both of which are subsets / attributes of having a page style). I am amending the summary again for clarity. 

Importing either a Visio file (bug 61294) or PDF (bug 64990) with varying page sizes into Draw results in all pages being set to the same orientation / size.

Added Apache issue 26641 to See Also list. It is currently unconfirmed, but relates to page orientation i.e., is a subset of Apache issue 29234.
