You can create a new page style based on the properties of an existing page style, but when you later change the source style, the new page style does not automatically inherit the changes. Unlike character styles or paragraph styles, the page styles don't know a hierarchy. If you are unsure about the page style concept, please read the section at the end of this page. You can either change the “Default” page style for the current document, or you can define own page styles and apply those page styles to any parts of your text.Īt the end of this help page, we'll discuss the scope of page styles in detail. Page styles define more page properties, as for example header and footer or page margins. LibreOffice uses page styles to specify the orientation of the pages in a document. To Change the Page Orientation Only for Some Pages Under Paper format, select “Portrait” or “Landscape”. If your text document consists only of pages with the same page style, you can change the page properties directly: To Change the Page Orientation for All Pages The current page style is listed in the Status Bar at the lower window border. It is important to know that changes that you apply to a page property will only affect the pages that use the current page style. If you open an existing text document, different page styles may have been applied to the different pages. By default, a new text document uses the “Default” page style for all pages. All page properties for Writer text documents, like for example the page orientation, are defined by page styles.
