Creating and Applying Page Styles

Collabora Office uses page styles to specify the layout of a page, including the page orientation, background, margins, headers, footers, and text columns. To change the layout of an individual page in a document, you must create and apply a custom page style to the page.

To Define a New Page Style

1. Choose View - Styles.

2. Click the Page Styles icon.

3. In the list of page styles, right-click an item, and then choose New.

4. On the Organizer tab, type a name in the Name box.

5. Do one of the following:

• To apply the custom page style to a single page, select the default page style that is used in your document in the Next Style box.

• To apply the custom page style to more than one page, select its name in the Next Style box. To stop using the style, insert a manual page break and assign it a different page style.

6. Use the tabs in the dialog to set the layout options for the page style, and then click OK.
