Created attachment 88893 [details] The document I was working on Problem description: Sometimes I am unable to change the page style. When this happens I have put a first page, then an index, then a default style. After the second Steps to reproduce: 1. Convert the first page to First Page using Format -> Title Page 2. Insert an index page after this one 3. Insert some more pages, using Insert -> Manual Break, leaving default settings (style = none) Current behavior: After a while Inserting pages alternates between First Page and Default style, and I am unable to change the page style, it just won't move. I haven't found a workaround apart from inserting new pages and copying the content across. Expected behavior: There shouldn't be any alternating style. One should be able to change the page style easily. Operating System: All Version: 4.1.3.2 rc
Ok. I had made it so the default style's next page was first page somehow. I think I managed this through right click -> Page. Shouldn't right click -> Page be for only the current page in the document? I still think it should be made to be able to change styles or simplify the page formatting itself. Sorry this isn't a bug anymore, just a usability issue I had. I'm not a beginner using LibreOffice, just a light user.
Two options: - Right on the Style name in the status bar and select what you want apply. - Menu/Format/Styles&Formatting [F11], click page styles icon and double click the style what you want apply. Please does it work for you?
It doesn't work when you make Default Style's Next Style 'First Page' (Format/Page/Organiser) It does absolutely nothing, gives you no errors or feedback, and takes about 5 years to figure out what is wrong. You can insert a new page and specify the style as 'Default Style', but it seems impossible to change an affected page back without changing Default Style's Next Style as 'Default Page'. This doesn't seem right to me. This is the bug I'm looking at here. I see now that going to Format/Page and changing settings there affects all pages. I didn't know that before now, and have used Open Office for a few years. I never occurred to me before, and to me it seemed weird.
(In reply to comment #3) > It doesn't work when you make Default Style's Next Style 'First Page' > (Format/Page/Organiser) Setting the Default Style to have a next style of the First Page style makes no sense as by default the First Page style has the Default Style as the next style. The result will be a document with alternating First Page and Default Style pages. The label "First Page" is given to that style because it is designed to /only/ be applied to the /first/ page of a document. > You can insert a new page and specify the style as 'Default Style', but it > seems impossible to change an affected page back without changing Default > Style's Next Style as 'Default Page'.

If you feel this is still an issue, please open a separate bug report. Before doing so though, please check the list of currently open bug reports for "page+style" to ensure your issue has not already been reported: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=PLEASETEST&list_id=385838&product=LibreOffice&query_format=advanced&short_desc=page%20style&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&order=bug_id&query_based_on= I think this report can be RESOLVED as NOTABUG.
Please Jodie, have you solved the issue with the Owen's comment?
Hi. Sorry, I forgot about this bug. This is not a bug, but it was really confusing to figure out how it worked. I think this can be closed.
