Hi all Right now, words implement most features regarding page styles in ODF, but our user interface lacks far behind, allowing users to apply only one style to the whole document. This creates confusion and is a huge feature gap that require mostly user interface work. Creating such an interface is a complicated work, and I've never been satisfied by the LibreOffice nor MS-Word interfaces. I've just done a crude proof of concept in words showing how I think we could implement page styles. The crudeness makes the screen shots harder to understand, but I only want to show the «spirit» of the idea.
Between each page, I add in the «empty» gray area the page style names. A double click on a page style name prompt you for the page style change (the hack implements this with a rude QInputDialog…), could offer you to introduce a page break… and you're done. This seems to me user friendlier than LibreOffice way of doing it (Insert > Manual Break, then choose to change the page style… and if you want to change a style afterwards, right click and get lost in paragraph properties) So attached to this mail is a simple screenshot of what this could look like… I won't share the hack code right now, it's broken and beyond redemption :) Thanks Pierre
