Examples of style use
The following examples of common use of page and paragraph styles
are taken from Writer. There are many other ways to use styles; see
the guides for the various components for details.
Defining a different first page for a document
Many documents, such as letters and reports, have a first page that is
different from the other pages in the document. For example, the first
page of a letterhead typically has a different header, or the first page
of a report might have no header or footer, while the other pages do.
With OOo, you can define the
page styl
e for the first page and specify
the style for the following pages to be applied automatically.
As an example, we can use the
First Page
and
Default
page styles that
come with OOo. Figure 51 shows what we want to happen: the first
page is to be followed by the default page, and all the following pages
are to be in the
Default
page style. Details are in Chapter 4
(Formatting Pages) in the
Writer Guide
.

Dividing a document into chapters
In a similar way, you can divide a document into chapters. Each
chapter might start with the
First Page
style, with the following pages
using the
Default
page style, as above. At the end of the chapter, insert
a manual page break and specify the next page to have the
First Page
style to start the next chapter, as shown in Figure 52.
