Peter, look in Chapter 9, Working with Styles, in the Writer Guide. In the
section “Text flow options for paragraph styles” there is a figure* showing
the TextFlow tab of the Paragraph Style dialog. For the New Chapter
paragraph style, in the Breaks area on the upper right, be sure “With page
style” is checked, and that it’s set to First Page.
* In the full book, this is Figure 208 on page 197.

To fix the following pages, you need to change that setting on the first
paragraph (H1) of the chapter text. NOT the paragraph style in this case.
Change it to Default Page Style. This is the way it’s done in chapters, but
sometimes that gets lost when you copy-paste into the full book.
