Creating and Applying Page Styles

LibreOffice 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.

Changing Page Orientation

Changing Page Background

To define a new page style:

1. Choose View - Styles.

2. Click the \<emph\>Page Styles\</emph\> icon.

3. In the list of page styles, right-click an item, and then choose \<emph\>New\</emph\>.

4. On the \<emph\>Organizer\</emph\> tab, type a name in the \<emph\>Name\</emph\> 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 \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.

To apply a page style:

1. Click in the page that you want to apply the page style to.
