Yes, it's sometimes a mystery how to get to specific help pages.

> 1. Open simple 1 page template:
> Page style: Default
> Added text - Paragraph styles: Title, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3,
> Default text, Body text
> Footer style: filename, page number (arabic: 1, 2, 3..), date

OK

> 2. Menu → Format → Page → Organizer → Style: UNABLE to CHANGE page style
> from Default

OK

> 3. Sidebar → Styles and Formatting → Page → double-clicked on Index: Page
> style changed to "First Page"

OK

> 4. New line after Title: Paragraph style Text Body
> 
> 5. Menu → Insert → Manual Break → Page → Style → Index |  Change page number
> -> 1: The cursor moved to a 2nd page with a Index style . The 1st page kept

Yes - Writes counts 'empty' pages, so that on double sided printing, title
pages/ new chapters start at the page right.
(See Tools > Options > Writer > Print .. > Other)

> 6. Menu → Insert → Manual Break → Page → Style → Default Style |  Change

OK

> 9. Saved and closed both documents

Your attachment 136352 has no page number applied on the second page
(Index/converted1). If you mean in the page style properties, that is arabic in
the odt too.

The change of page style name, always happens with saving in doc(x).
I guess that's because doc(x) doesn't support this.

NB: in my test, I had to add an extra paragraph below the index, that you put
on the second page. to prevent the index cover the page crossing after
close&reopen.

> Page 3 (Page 3 of 5) has acquired Converted2 style, Page number  was
> dropped, but came up as arabic when added

The page number was retained in my test.

> 11. Saved, closed and reopened as 2 page (!!) PageStylesSaveAs.docx:
>  Page 1 (Page 1 of 3) remained Default Style
> Page 2 (Page 2 of 3) remained Converted1 style, the 2:3 page break vanished
> so contents of page 3 moved to page 2 Page number changed from italic to
> arabic (that of the no-longer-existing page 3)

I confirm that problem, but can prevent it happening by adding an extra
paragraph below the index on the second page..

So, apart from the changing page style names, I see no other problem then the
page crossing below the index on the second page, in case there is only one
empty paragraph, it seems. I think that is a relative new bug.

Can you please post what your version info is?
thanks,
Cor
