            Bug ID: 135926
           Summary: The ‘Format Page’ menu option has gone missing in
                    Writer!!!!!!
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bugcatcher1 at cox.net

Description:
1. I wanted to change the formatting of a page.
2. I did what I have done bazillions of times: I clicked on the “Format” menu
option.
3. I looked for the “Page” menu option. There was none!
4. I went to “Tools” to see if it somehow got unclicked as a menu option. There
was NO such option! 
5. What I found under “All Commands” was: “Page Formatting”, “Page Margins”,
“Page Size”, and “Page Width”.   ---   NO “Page” option at all!
6. I put all of those into the “Format” menu option. See Picture of my menus.
NOT ONE of the them did anything! There was NO pop up window, nor any action of
any kind! I repeated the process several times. Still no way to change the page
format!
7. I went to the “Help” manual. I found that the method I had always used was
the documented as the way to do the task. There was NO mention of “Page
Formatting”, “Page Margins”, “Page Size”, and “Page Width” in the “Format”
menu! See Picture of “Help” manual.

So, there is NO way to change page formatting, and your manual is wrong. Now
what do I do?

BTW: Where is the "urgent" option? This kind of problem is NOT a "normal" Fix!

Also, your manual help page does not reflect the reality I am seeing.


I have pictures in case you are interested.




Steps to Reproduce:
1. I wanted to change the formatting of a page.
2. I did what I have done bazillions of times: I clicked on the “Format” menu
option.
3. I looked for the “Page” menu option. There was none!
4. I went to “Tools” to see if it somehow got unclicked as a menu option. There
was NO such option! 
5. What I found under “All Commands” was: “Page Formatting”, “Page Margins”,

6. I put all of those into the “Format” menu option. See Picture of my menus.
NOT ONE of the them did anything! There was NO pop up window, nor any action of
any  kind! I repeated the process several times. Still no way to change the
page format!
7. I went to the “Help” manual on this page:
file:///usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/text/shared/01/05040200.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3150620.
I found that the method I had always used was the documented as the way to do
the task. There was NO mention of “Page Formatting”, “Page Margins”, “Page
Size”, and “Page Width” in the “Format” menu! See Picture of “Help” manual.

So, there is NO way to change page formatting, and your manual is wrong. Now
what do I do?


BTW: Where is the "urgent" option? This kind of problem is NOT a "normal" Fix!

Also, your manual help page does not reflect the reality I am seeing.





Actual Results:
NO way to change page formatting using Format menu or anything else.

BTW: Where is the "urgent" option? This kind of problem is NOT a "normal" Fix!

Expected Results:
An option to change the page formatting should have been in the Format menu.

I should have then been able to click on "Page" and gotten the pop up shown in
the manual on this page:
file:///usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/text/shared/01/05040200.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3150620

BTW: Where is the "urgent" option? This kind of problem is NOT a "normal" Fix!

Also, your manual help page does not reflect the reality I am seeing.
