Caution

Changing a page style may cause the style of subsequent pages to

change as well. The results may not be what you want. To change the

style of only one page, you may need to insert a manual page break,

as described below.

As discussed in Chapter 7 (Working with Styles), a correctly set up page style will, in

most cases, contain information on what the page style of the next page should be.

For example, when you apply a Left page style to a page, you can indicate in the style

settings that the next page has to apply a Right page style, a First page style could be

followed by either a Left page style or a Default page style, and so on.

Another very useful mechanism to change the page style is to insert a manual page

break and specify the style of the subsequent page. The idea is simple: you break a

sequence of page styles and start a new sequence. To insert a page break, choose

Insert > Manual Break and choose Page break. This section illustrates two

common scenarios where page breaks are useful.

Example: Chapters

A possible scenario: You are writing a book that is divided into chapters. Each

chapter starts with a page style called New Chapter. The following pages use the

Default page style. At the end of each (except the last) chapter, we return to the New

Chapter page style for the first page of the next chapter.

Figure 189 illustrates the flow of page styles when using page breaks.

OOo doesn’t have a predefined New Chapter style, so you must create a custom style

(see Chapter 7). Let’s suppose that you already have the page styles with the

following properties:

Page style Next Style

New Chapter

Default

At some point, you will want to start a new chapter. Follow these steps:

1) Put the cursor at the end of the chapter, on a blank line (empty paragraph) of

its own.

2) Choose Insert > Manual Break. The Insert Break dialog box (Figure 190)

appears.

3) Under Type, choose Page break and under Style, select New Chapter.
