--- Comment #30 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #29) > As assignment/modification of PgS follows the PS, the "first paragraph" to > receive the assigned/modified page style is the cursor position required. > Whether by inserting a break at that position, or modifying the PS. Ah, I think I understand what you mean now. So, that's actually not what I'm suggesting. That is, I am not suggesting new ways for users to create transitions between page-sequences. A user will _not_ be able to select a bunch of paragraphs, or page-worths' of paragraphs, and change the page dimensions or background for example, for just those paragraphs or pages they selected. Formatting changes would apply to the _existing_ page sequence (or sequences if your selection covers many of those). Instead, with my suggestion, we would have "Format > Page..." rather then "Format > Page Style..." on the menus, and that would apply to the current sequence(s) of pages, just like "Format > Page Style..." applies to the named style used for the current sequence of pages. The difference will be, that instead of changing the named style, it would change an automatic style, for the current sequence - just like "Format > Paragraph..." does. It would still be the case that if you wanted to style some pages differently, you would need to insert a page break with a PgS specified (just like if you want a new paragraph you have to press Enter and you can't select some sentences and style them differently). Does this address your reservation? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
