Hi Lars,

which "style elements" do you think about? For example
- Page size
- Feadline / Footline on - off
-
-
-

Please add more detail concerning your wishes, that will rise the
chance that they will be included to OOo (specially by people who
think in the same way and will VOTE)!

all page properties, so I like to be able to set any property on any 
tab of the Page properties dialogue for any page individually; for 
example:

format, margins, orientation, background, header, footer, ...

So I can have 1st page be A4 portrait, 2nd page A5 landscape with a 
custom background image, 3rd page A4 landscape with no backgroud 
image but a header and footer, ....

Hi Lars,

thank you for your proposal.

I will change status to NEW because I think that this really would be
a big improvement.

It could be made so that for all formatting selection normally a
checkbox "use document page formatting" is activated. After
deactivatingof this checkpx each page can get it's own settings.

Actually main efforts are concentrated in bugfixing for version 1.1
final, so that it can take some time until there will be feedback from
developers.

SBA: It is possible to have a different page style for every page. To
apply it, a "page break WITH page style" must be applied to the last
paragraph of the current or the first paragraph of the new page (i.e.
by applying "page break WITH page style" to the chapter header makes
it very easy to make all chapters start on a right page of a book) 
One may define a follow-up page style to a page style on the
"organizer" tab page of the page styles (i.e. to get right page-left
page following each other until another page break "with style" gets
defined).

I admit that the concept of page styles leaves room for Ease-Of-Use
because many users run into this problem in the first place. I
adjusted the Summary to match the findings.

SBA: Reassigned to Bettina from the User Experience team for
consideration.

"Man wird so alt als wie 'ne Kuh und lernt doch immer noch dazu."

Hi Stefan,

you are right, that is a powerful tool to meet many of reporter's
requirements. But I must admit that during my tests I often  failed to
get _exactly_ that what I wanted - surely often only lack of
experiance ;-)

Might be it will be a good way to improve the existing functions where
necessary, and also the documentation to ease the use of that fine tool.

Reporter, for this a complete wish list (with test results) could be
helpful.

Inserting a page-break to change the page-style is one option but it is very
limiting. I proposed a better solution to solve the page-numbering issue, and
the same solution can be applied for any other page-style:

A.) the page-style shall inherit style properties from the text/objects
displayed on the specific page

B.) Resolving conflicting styles:
 - declared page styles have precedence
   [this is just to avoid any confusion ;) ]
 - one options is: first come, first served
   (apply first-encountered style, aka style of first object)
 - another option: highlight conflicting styles and ask user to specify which
   one has precedence

The usefulness of this approach is its great flexibility:
Lets say the user want to draw a very wide table on a landscape page. BUT some
text flows over from the previous page.

We therefore do NOT want to insert a page-break, but let the text freely flow.
We would assign a landscape-style to the table-object, which will be inherited
by the page proper on which this table is displayed.

Similarly, assigning a page-break to a specific text/object/and/or style should
be possible and would make advanced layouts more structured: e.g. every 'Heading
1' will force a new page start with a particular page style (going beyond the
already discussed page-numbering styles).
