"A Chapter is a sequence of pages..." 1) I create a new Page Style called 'verb' using 'default' as a Style. Next Style defaults to 'verb'. I guess this means each additional page of this "section" will have the same style as the first. How does the pagination machinery distinguish between one verb and the next?
2) I use 'Insert | Manual Break | Page Break Style = verb' to create an instance of 'verb', call it ΑΓΑΠΙΕΜΑΙ, and enter some data. 3) I use 'Insert | Manual Break | Page Break Style = verb' to create the next verb. 4) The new verb has the old title in header. If I change it, it changes the first verb. Therefore, inserting a manual Page Style break does not insert a new Section. - Does the Page Style 'Front Page' imply anything? Could 'Front Page' reset the page header for the Chapter? I don't think so, because an example in IntroStyles.pdf uses 'Right Page' as the first page of the chapter (I guess they want all chapters to begin on a right page, but I don't). I tried it; it doesn't work. - Does a new instance of any custom page style reset the page headers for the "section" which follows? I seem to be using "custom page style" for "section". - Is the software broken? Joe Back To The Drawing Board "A document is logically divided into Sections..." not pages (i.e. not Page Styles): <section name="document" title="Modern Greek Verbs"> <section name="verbs"> <section name="agapiemai" title="ΑΓΑΠΙΕΜΑΙ" voice="Passive" meaning="I am loved" page="break"> <!--Paragraph Styles or Free Form--> </section> <section name="agapao" title="ΑΓΑΠΩ" voice="Passive" meaning="I love" page="break"> <!--Paragraph Styles or Free Form--> </section> </section> <section name="index" title="ENGLISH-GREEK"> <!--Paragraph Styles or Free Form--> </section> </section> It's not difficult to map this structure to a sequence of pages. You only need insert a manual 'Section Break' in the body of the document. This creates a new Section and resets the page headers and footers. So, how do I reset OO page headers? 1) I create a new Page Style called 'verb' based on the default (I don't know a priori what 'default' means, but I have even less an idea what the other Page Styles are meant for). 2) I define the Next page as 'default'. Sometimes a verb will take two pages, but never three, so it could use a second page, but the vast majority of the verbs will fit on a single page, so I don't really need a 'Next' Style yet, but the 'New Page Style' dialog box makes me select one. If I don't, it puts in 'verb' creating a circular definiton. "One verb is followed by another?" I am concerned the pagination machinery will not reset the headers in such a scenario, so I select 'default' as 'Next' hoping everything will come out right. I enable header and footer on both 'verb' and 'default'. 3) I create an instance of 'verb' by changing the Page Style of the document's first page (from default) to 'verb'. The header and footer appear. I am encouraged, so I type the name of the first verb, ΑΓΑΠΕΙΜΑΙ, into the header, and add some text to the page body. 4) I use 'Insert | Manual Break | Style = verb' to create another verb, but the header is duplicated from the previous 'verb'. If I change it, the header on the first verb changes too. The Canonical User Interface: 1) 'Insert Manual Break' should contain 'Insert Section Break' (essentially the same as 'End Section'). Attribute of 'Insert Section Break' is 'New Page' (or not). 2) 'Outline' View displays the Section i.e. logical layout. ['Normal', 'Page', 'Print Preview' display the physical structure.] 3) A separate, child window in 'Outline' View displays Page Headers -- which are Section Attributes, so why not call them by their real name, "Section Header"? Section headers are editable in Outline mode only. 4) Section headers/footers in 'Normal' and 'Page' Views are View Only. You cannot edit them in 'Normal' or 'Page' View. This only gives the user the misleading impression he can define them for each page. 5) A function like &odd?voice:meaning could be placed in the left and right margin of the header to create mirrored effect. I wouldn't mind capturing the verb title as literal text -- because it is always centered -- but the program has to calculate the page numbers and insert the Section attributes, which may be referenced throughout the document. I will be capturing the verbs in random sequence. I only want to insert them into the document in alphabetical order. OO will do the pagination. 6) Each section has its own running page counter. No need for tips or tricks. You refer to the page counters by name. 7) Footer contains &odd?document.title:document.verbs.page; in each margin. 8) Unequal page margins? Another attribute of the Section, a variable, which can be named, like margin.left="1" margin left="2" or maybe a function margin.left=odd?1:2; margin.right=odd?2:1; All of these variable have Section scope. 9) Pages in a book are all the same size. It would be nice if I could resize the page graphically using drag. You should support this interface (It comes from Wang/Honeywell/Multimate/Even Word6). Then I do not have to read your documentation or learn about Styles to use your program. How do I reset Page headers?
