--- Comment #2 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
You should look which methods ODF provides to generate a sequence of pages from
the content of a text document.

One method is the use of a master page. Paragraph style and table style can
have an attribute 'style:master-page-name'. Each time the style is applied (for
paragraphs not inside tables), it inserts a page break before the paragraph or
table and the specified master page is used from there on. "style applied"
includes named styles (from the Styles pane of the Sidebar) and automatic
styles (direct formatting) as well.

A second method is use of the attributes 'fo:break-after' and
'fo:break-before'. These attributes are mainly used in tables, but may be used
outside of tables too. In fact 'Ctrl+Enter' uses the attribute
'fo:break-before'. Possible values besides 'page' are 'column' and 'auto'.
These attributes have no relationship to a master page.

A combination of 'fo:break-after' with master-page-name is technical
impossible. The UI reflects this only partly. If you select 'after' in list
'Position', then the checkbox 'with page style' is correctly disabled. But the
other way round, if you check 'with page style' the list 'Position' is not
disabled. That could be improved. I mean, if 'with page style' is checked, the
list 'Position' should be disabled, but still show the value 'Before'.
