--- Comment #7 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #6) > The use case is clear and common: Benjamin wants to add a landscape oriented > page to the document to show a large table. Reading those words, a thought has occurred to me. Is the use case you described really that simple? It seems to complect two things: Adding a new page (sequence), and switching page sequence style. Think about the equivalent w.r.t. paragraphs. When you want to add a new paragraph to your document, with different styling, is there a special UI function for doing so? No, there isn't: You add a new paragraph, then format it differently, either with DF or by choosing a named style. Why should this be different for page sequences? It shouldn't! The user should not care about page sequence styles when adding a page break. Instead, _after_ the break, the user should be able to DF the current page sequence (e.g. make the pages landscape), or switch to a different named page sequence style. Naturally, that DF or named style would only applied to the pages beginning with the break. If we went this way, we could actually _eliminate_ page sequence styles from the page break insertion dialog altogether. What do you all think?
