Doesn’t setting next style in Endnotes page style help to have a header on the endnotes’ first page?

@mikekaganski: I made a test with Endnote page style followed by new Endnote Next page style (pointed to from “Next Style”) so that I have different header heights: a large one in Endnote for regular header and room for headings and other text if needed; a “standard” one in Endnote Next for only regular header.

It seems there is a bug in Endnote page style because Next Style field is not honoured. Here LO 6.2.8.2. I’ll file a bug report with a sample file.

Hi Mike, I’ve add some links.
I’ve already tried with your approach… and also for me didn’t work. The page style remain the same for all Endnotes page.

Thank you

It actually works. But there is a bug, true: it needs a reload.

Oh!!! now I’ve understood!
Very strange behavior
Thank’s a lot!
any way… 183 end notes… maybe I’ve used too many hyperlink…

It isn’t a matter of number of endnotes. 183 is relatively a reasonable amount. It is a dysfunction of page management when needing more than one page.
