Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 47118
Writer should give notification when page style could not be assigned
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:16 UTC
Create a page-style (example-style) that has a following page-style set, e.g. standard. Now assign example-style to a page in a document and try to assign it to the page following too. It is not possible to set the page style of the second page to example-style, as the first one is set to be followed by standard. Although everything (does not) works as expected, the user might easily forget about the "page-style following" setting, so it would be very helpful, if OO would not just do nothing, but inform the user why the page-style double-clicked cannot be assigned to the current page. A notification pops up saying: It is not possible to assign the page-style "xyz" to this page because the previous page determines its page-style. If you wish to change this, edit the page-style of the previous page, go to the settings tab and change "following page-style" to "any style". For the "any style" see issue 47117.
When a page style is determined by the "Follow", it cannot be changed by assigning manually. This should trigger a notification by Writer as requested by the user.
