I tried hard to use this feature, but all I was able to achieve is different
header styles (or footer styles) for left pages and for right pages.

I never succeeded to let another regime of footers or headers start from one
specific point in my document, not even if it starts with a new page.

One specific application which I have in mind is letting the footers of a
document which is a combination of several different files let the footers
reflect the file names of the components, such that one can easily find the
right one if one of the part of that "master document" has to be updated.

My trial: E.g. I inserted a forced page break above a headline in a document.
Then following your hint
> 
> Specifically, you may mark that your *content* - some part of text, starting from *this specific paragraph*, - is placed on pages of this style. To do so, you mark the first *paragraph* of that part of text to start on new page with said style. And that setting marks the beginning of the part of document with this style; it will end as soon as another paragraph with such setting is encountered.

How do you mean “to start on a new page with said style”? I marked the
paragraph which happens to be a headline (which is at the beginning of a page
far down in my document). Then I changed the appearance of the footer of that
page and created a new style LP2 from it and double clicked on that in the list
under the pages styles. But since it was a left page, changing the header
changed the headers of all left pages in the whole document, not just for the
left pages from from this starting point. The same is true for changing the
right pages. 

Either the description in the manual of this feature is insufficient (and the
function is somewhat not easy to understand) or it does not work as described. 

How do I apply footers of one type starting from one paragraph starting on a
new page in my document? A LO Writer document showing all the steps in sequence
applied to that document probably would be most helpful for the many LO Writer
users who do not have understood how to switch header or footer regimes within
one document. You promised it to be very powerful so I want to know how to use
it.
