Yes you can, but since the "Right Page" style already has the Page layout option set to "Right only," why would I want to go ahead and configure another style for the same option when that one's already set to correctly start the new section or chapter on only the right page by default? > > Maybe because no viable, better alternative to my real-life use case has yet > > been provided. > > Like I said above - create a new custom page style, say "Chapter Title"; set > its Next Style to Default Page Style (or whatever page style you want to use > for that chapter), and you're all set. Yes, after I set the page layout to "Right only." So why should I have to set the options for another style to be what I want when the styles there already have the option set? What you just suggested will not put my new page on the right side by default, with a blank page on the left side if necessary, and that is exactly what I want. And I don't have a problem with the page numbers being correct either. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
