You're right, Rory. I just selected some text and did Insert > Section and the selected text ended up inside the new section. It's good to know. This is better than a page break with a new page style if you're going to be reverting to the original page style after a short section. - Robert ________________________________________ From: Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> Sent: February 12, 2023 12:34 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Advice

He could also insert a Manual Break : Page Break, with Index >style just before an existing index. As far as I know LibreOffice and OpenOffice will handle both methods identically. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
