Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61926
Page Format Organizer should do something
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:43:25 UTC
I mistakenly added these comments to Issue 55104 requesting a dropdown box of page style names in the dialog in Writer. The same problem exists in Calc. At present the Organizer tab does nothing. One style is there. You cannot substitute another. To apply another style, you first have to open the F11 dialog, select the area to which you wish to apply the new style and double-click on the style name. A tedious business indeed if you wish to apply the style to several sheets in a document.
so you are asking for an anhancement of the Page format dialogues Organize tab to be able to change the assigned page style from there, for which issue 55104 proposes a special solution?

I see the ability to choose a page style as a logical use of the Organizer tab. At present, you have to open the F11 dialog and apply a particular style to a selected area before that style is displayed in the Format > Page dialog. Quite a tedious and tiresome procedure. Once a style is so selected, again that is the only style displayed in the Format > Page dialog. The reason I was not more specific in the title of the issue is that the Organizer tab at present does nothing other than display the name of the selected style. It serves no other purpose. There are buttons on it and the name of the style is selected, suggesting it can be changed, but in fact nothing can be done with this tab. While typing these comments, I used the Format > Page command and discovered that the dialog behaved differently in the file that was open so I am submitting a specially created file that displays the dialog with the Default command without any mechanism for doing anything with the Organizer tab.
according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/ RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd I reassign this issue to requirements and set the status to New
