How to safe the template's Page Style?

[drpeppercan]

I am using this resume template: “Minimalist Résumé 1”.
Since I am not using this Page Style for all the pages, I would like to be able to save it so I could apply it at will. But when I open the interface window for Page Style it shows that this style is just called “Default Page Style”, and I cannot rename it to create a new one nor save the present style under a different name.
I could choose some of the other styles and edit them, but it opens a new window and I still don’t see how to save a new style.

Since the resume is an .ott, you must open it with File>Templates>Edit Template; otherwise you create a new untitled document.

Default Page Style is protected so that you can’t rename it. But you can frely modify it.

You can create a new style based on it (but it will not be a child because there is no inheritance in page styles). With the cursor in the desired page:

1. open the style side pane
2. activate page styles list (fourth icon from left)
3. right click on Default Page Styke and New
4. customise the new style any way you like
5. give it a name ans OK

(Thanks to @EarnestAl for a more accurate procedure)

Save your modified template. Eventually, File>Templates>Manage Templates to register it with Writer so that it can be implicitly referenced.

I find that New from Default Page Style does not give me a duplicate. In fact, in this instance not only do I not get 2 columns but the page size reverts to A4, not letter as original page.

I think the only way to duplicate Default Page Style (definitely not to be done for paragraph styles) is to place the cursor in the relevant page and, under Style Actions select New style from selection and give it a suitable name.
