Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 44520
Page styles are not applied to soft page breaks
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
In order to simulate Microsoft Word's "First Page Special" feature, I have created a pair of Page Styles in a document template -- one called "First Page" with no header and a footer, and one called "Body" with a header and no footer. I have set the "First Page" page style to use the "Body" page style as its "Next Style." While editing the document, OpenOffice applies the "Body" page style correctly to a new page that is created with a soft page break -- when a new page is created because I continue typing beyond what a single page can handle. However, when I save the document in .doc format, all of the pages that have been created with soft page breaks retain the "First Page" page style; the "Body" page style is only applied to pages that have been created with a hard page break.

MRU->FLR: The "Follow" page style will be ignored on export to WW8 format, when it is insisted by a soft page break. See my attached sample - save this in WW format.
Created attachment 23652 [details] My attached document works like a charme, why?
If it's not fixed in time for OOo2.0, it should be fixed for OOo2.0.1.
Considering the effort, the priority, the risk and our resource planning I've to retarget this issue to OOo Later.
