hi,
i create page style, but it automatic change pagestyle name after i save as word 2007-365(.docx)
how to make the name of the pagestyle not change automatically
Thank You
Save your document as .odt.
DOCX format only has paragraph styles and knows nothing about character, page, frame and list styles. These categories must be approximated with elementary formatting during the conversion to DOCX and synthesised back again very approximately from DOCX. When you reopen your document, it is not the same as what you typed.
The only way to ensure stability and reliability of your formatting is to save native, i.e. .odt. This rule is valid in any application.
If your need for DOCX results from an external constraint, e.g. a requirement by your employer, a limitation in format handling by your recipients, …, work for yourself in .odt and only export to DOCX before sending, being aware that some of the formatting will not be forwarded faithfully. In collaborative work, this leaves open how to manage changes to incorporate back into your original file. This is why it is recommended in collaborative work that all participants use the same application rather than the same format across different apps.

Note that you may have to restart from scratch because the cumulative conversions have already damaged (or at least polluted) your document formatting beyond repair. Paste as unformatted text in a blank file and restyle it. I emphasised restyle to insist upon the use of styles versus direct formatting. You’ll feel more “zen” with styling if there are many iterations on the document.
