Description number5 2003-04-03 12:18:06 UTC

Currently it doesn't seem to be possible to create linked Page Templates, e.g.:

Templates 'Left page', 'Right page', 'Left appendix', 'Right appendix', all
linked to 'Common page'. Thus, if the page margins etc. should be adjusted, this
could be done for all by simply changing 'Common page'.

Comment 1 andreschnabel 2003-04-03 14:21:00 UTC

To summarize this:
Page Styles should be linkable like Paragraph and Character styles are.

Comment 2 number5 2003-04-03 14:38:22 UTC

correct.

Still no plans for implementing that ?

Comment 7 jpmatthiasotto 2006-08-02 16:44:47 UTC

That would be very usefull. On the other hand single page tamplates that belong
to common template should still be allowed to have different format.

Comment 8 shinyford 2008-02-26 16:20:44 UTC

Yes, this would be very useful to me. My view:

Page styles should be able to:
 * inherit from earlier styles, and
 * override inherited settings, but
 * reflect changes to inherited settings UNLESS 'locally' overridden

Cheers

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
