 Is there a way to set a new Style other than Next Page.
 e.g. how do you switch styles in mid-page and then back
 again? I'm probably not well caffiene injected yet, but I can't
 seem to do it. TIA,

 Insert  Manual break. Select Page break

But ... that creates a new page; I want it to happen on the same page so I 
can switch to the new style, type, then revert to the old style without 
leaving that page.

HTH,

You can change paragraph or character styles mid-page. I don't know for 
certain, but I wouldn't have thought you could change page styles 
mid-page, as by definition they apply to a whole page. What would you 
expect to happen if two page styles were applied to the same page?


If you're trying to vary the left and right margins mid-page, try 
looking at Format  Paragraph  Indents, and perhaps create and use 
paragraph styles to set them.


Mark.

 I think you may be able to accomplish the effect you need
 with a section break. What do you need to change?

Sections are what I started with and may have to suffice; it just doesn't 
encompass everythng I want. These sections are normally only 5 to 10 lines 
long and then I return to the document's default formatting settings.
   There isn't any single thing I'm unable to do with Sections as they vary 
all over the place depending on what they are and where they came from and 
who did them up originally.
   That's why I was hoping to be able to somehow start-stop within the page 
based on something other than using a new page, where everything below the 
subject page would then be blank. Maybe I'll switch to scanning to get an 
image instead; more work but a more faithful and professional presentation 
appearance at least.

Appreciate your taking the time to read,

Twayne`
