LibreOffice Writer: different styles for different *pages*
 

Hello,

i am not finding a way to have a page with portrait orientation, while the other pages in the same Writer document use landscape. It is possible, i can say, for the searches i did in internet. But no solution i found worked for me. As example, download the file: http://balacobaco.insomnia247.nl/dedec0/curso.odt

The document has 3 pages. I want the first page to be in portrait, and the keep the other two as they are, in landscape. One bad solution said that inserting a manual page brake would allow this kind of separate formatting, but it does not work - note that there are 2 page breaks in the document, separating all 3 pages. I also tried to play with the style. But if i change the style of one page, the others change too. /-:

Does LibreOffice propose something like “chapters”? It may be possible that the orientation is a property of something else than “the document”, “the page” or “the topic”. I do not know in which way LibreOffice devides a document (“physically”) into sections. But this is what you have to find out.

See Inserting title pages in the document in LibreOffice help.

More generally, see Insert Section.

Perhaps this part of the documentation?

“Page Styles”

... Now someone must have had a need for this. But I would still prefer a section. Both techniques should work, IMHO.
