            Bug ID: 133438
           Summary: Outdated/Invalid LOo 6.4 Documentation
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation

Description:
I wanted to change a single page to landscape mode in a Writer document. I
found some old libreoffice docs on the web that partially helped me solve the
problem, but when I looked at new docs:
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/pagestyles.html
I found several "bugs":

- "To Apply a Page Style" guidance is wrong. Even if you select page xxx (>1)
and ask to apply the landscape page style, that's the first page of the
document that gets the modification. Old LOo docs was mentioning this was
related to some notion of "scope" but did not provide any solution nor
explanation. The only solution is to create a new page with wanted Page Style.
FYI, "old doc" is:
https://help.libreoffice.org/3.4/Writer/Changing_Page_Orientation_Landscape_or_Portrait

- "To Apply a Page Style to a New Page" is also wrong: "Insert - Manual Break"
doesn't exist in LOo 6.4. It's in "Insert - More Breaks - Manual Break".

Steps to Reproduce:
BUG1:
1. Create a Writer doc with 4 pages
2. Create a new style
3. Change page to landscape and "Next Style" to default style
4. Select page 4, apply new Style

BUG2: simply navigate to Insert Menu, there is only "Insert - More Breaks -
Manual Break", no direct "Insert - Manual Break".

Actual Results:
RESULT: page 1 is landscape


Expected Results:
EXPECTED: page 4 is landscape



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
