I’m currently not able to maneuver page styles in Writer the way I expect them to respond.
The instructions say:
To Apply a Page Style to a New Page
Click in the document where you want a new page to start.
Choose Insert - Manual Break.
Select Page break.
In the Style box, select the page style that you want to apply to the page that follows the manual break.
Click OK.
However, after I create the page break, then apply a different page style, all pages before are also changed to the new style. This happens even if I add a blank paragraph first, before changing the page style.
Consequently, I am not able to change the header style for a book’s front matter, which is what I’m trying to do.
I’m on LO 6.0.3 on Linux.
