hi,
I see several answers, solutions here at ask.libreoffice,
moreover, I’ve been explained to several times how “this chapter thing” is supposed to be done… still, when I got to it, I was dumbfounded, like, I had learned nothing at all
My problems:
I wanted to add different PAGE styles to the first page, and a different one to the first chapter coming after it…
… but here is what I did:
- Created a NEW master document
- applied a set of styles to it by importing a template, overwriting every possible thing (all checkboxes checked)
- imported two documents, the chapter title page and the chapter
- I applied a style to chapter title page (ch-t-p)
this style was set to “right page only” ← this was a mistake (EDITED later)
EDIT #2 (22. July) Wanderer’s note makes it clear that the method I had decided to stick with is irrational, cause as he said, in many scenarios several master documents may exist…
therefore I redraw the “solution” checkmark…
and keep experimenting…
going back to Mike’s suggestion at the very beginning…
This thing is really complex. Now I don’t even like the OP question.
My problems:
Problem #1
I don’t even know hot to apply a page style to a page
I kept clicking… on the page style name in the sidebar styles list…
sometimes it worked, sometimes id didn’t
sometimes I placed the cursor in the heading or the footer field …
ETC
…
Problem #2:
I wanted to add a page brake…
insert, breaks, more breaks…
also defined the next page style…
BUT: a page was inserted (as it seems logical)
but I didn’t want that page…
Yes, I wanted to add this break in the subdocument, not the master document…
Cause in the master document I found no way to add a page break…
I would have had to have a “text” section in between, I suppose…
So my question is, how do I apply two (or more) different PAGE styles, one for each imported (embedded) document?
thank you in advance,
Peter
