Description ajoyk 2005-08-02 20:24:05 UTC 
Page styles cannot be inherited in OOWriter (checked both 1.1.4 and 2.0 Beta)
on either Windows (XP) or Linux (RedHat 8.2). The "Linked With" Item in
the "Organizer" selection of a Page-Style modifier menu is permanently
grayed out.

The workaround I use is to copy over the page-style via the "copy from
selection" mode, but this kind of inheritance is not sticky. Changes to
non-modified attributes of the Parent pagestyle do not get reflected in
the new style.

This would be nice to have, since many of the page styles I create for the
book I am writing, differ from the parent ones just in things like Header
content. In particular, it would be nice to resize the page without having
to update every page style manually (with inheritance working, only the
root page style would need to be modified).
