There exists two method for getting a change in page style: 1. Set the page style in the first paragraph of the page, that you want to get the new style. You find the setting in the paragraph properties in tab "Text Flow". If you will switch the page style while you are writing, do not use Ctrl+Enter, but use Insert > Manuel Break, which allows you to select the page style. 2. A page style has a field "Next style" in the tab "Organizer". That means, that one page uses the given style, but the next pages will use the style specified there. You can examine the page style "First Page" to see how it works. A page style is always applied to all following pages until the style is changed by method 1 or 2.
Created attachment 140726 [details] Example file (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #4) Thanks for the answer. But i'm still a little confused (or I'm I missing something). It's not about 'creating' styles and the successive usage. But about replacing/using a different page style (for example changing 'default' to 'envelope') I want to replace the page layout for the first page using a different page style, without affecting any other page(s). How do I achieve for the attached file? [Note: I used CTRL+ENTER for the page break (or Insert -> Manual Page break -> Style None) and configured a page style afterward using the organizer tab the second page]. I can change the page layout of the first page without affecting the second page if the New style is set in Insert -> More Page breaks -> Manual Page break dialog
For further discussion how to apply page styles use our support channels. Nevertheless I will attach two examples.
