            Bug ID: 113490
           Summary: Impossible to create new style based on the current
                    page
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
According to online libre office documentation here
(https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Creating_a_Page_Style_Based_on_the_Current_Page)
it is possible to create a new page style based on the current page. The
instructions are:

1.Open a new text document, choose View - Styles and Formatting, and then click
the Page Styles icon.
2.Click the New Style from Selection icon and select New Styles from Selection
from the submenu.
3.Type a name for the page in the Style name box, and then click OK.
4.Double-click the name in the list to apply the style to the current page.
5.Choose Insert - Header and Footer - Header, and choose the new page style
from the list.
6.Type the text that you want in the header. Position the cursor into the main
text area outside of the header.
7.Choose Insert - Manual Break.
8.In the Type area, select Page break and then select “Default” from the Style
box.
9.Repeat steps 2-6 to create a second custom page style with a different
header.

However no matter how many times I tried there is no "new style from selection
icon" and as a result each time I create a new page style I have to configure
it from scratch which is very very frustrating.

I think this is a major bug and should be fixed.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open writer
2.Go to view --> Styles and formatting (or just press F11)
3.Select Page Styles
4.Icon "create new style from selection" is nowhere to be found...

Actual Results:  
"Create new Style from selection" icon is missing.

Expected Results:
There should be a "create new style from selection" option, according to libre
writer documentation here -->
